  • What has been your favourite part of this week?

    Published 12/05/22

    What a week! Most of Year 5 went to Kingswood on their residential, and we had the best time. We did archery, wood skills, problem solving and more. We even braved the 3G swing! The children were incredible and showed amazing independence and resilience. They kept their bedrooms tidy and supported their friends. The adults didn't even mind being woken up at 3am because they knew the children were having so much fun!... Well, maybe they minded a little!

    The children who stayed went bowling on Monday and then took part in Forest School and a wonderful Dragon's Den style activity, where they designed new equipment for the playground. 

    When all of us were back together, we took part in a carousel of activities on Thursday morning, and learnt about the 5Ks of Sikhism, as well as revising our arithmetic skills. We celebrated National Fruit Cocktail Day in Art, creating beautiful tissue paper collages. 

    It is hard to believe that there are only two weeks left before half term... our wonderful Year 5s are nearly in Year 6! This week has definitely demonstrated how mature and grownup they are.

  • Why do we need to be careful when browsing news stories and photographs online?

    Published 06/05/22

    This week in Year 5, we have been continuing to learn about decimals and fractions in Maths, thinking carefully about ordering and rounding. In Literacy, we completed our Peppered Moth Fact Files as part of our Star Write. We were concentrating on formal tone, scientific language and formal fronted adverbials. 

    In PSHE, we learnt about edited photographs and how easy it is to use apps to alter images. We spoke about how dangerous this can be and how we should always be mindful that not everything we see on the Internet is true. In the same lesson, we looked at fake news and how to spot false news articles. 

    We are so excited to go on residential next week, and the children staying in school also have really exciting things to look forward to!
