Year Five: December 2023

Another busy month in Year Five!

A brief dip into descriptive writing...

...before filming, editing and screening our anti-bullying play scripts.

There were exciting ends to our space and forces topics in science with the research, building and testing of rockets and bridges.

We looked at the everyday life of the Anglo Saxons and constructed a Lego timeline of streets through time from the Stone Age to modern day:

Stone Age

Romans

Anglo Saxons and Vikings

Modern Day

Now adept at all things Google Drawings, we perfected our vector drawing skills.

Grace

Antonia

There was lots of music, both regular lessons and rehearsals for the Christmas carol concert, and the grand finale of indoor P.E. was the performance of space dances, the choreography of each group showing great progress and creativity.

What an amazing first term in Year Five!  Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.  See you in 2024!

Year Five: September 2023

 Year Five have settled in wonderfully back into school life. We have had lots of fun and got to know our new classmates and teachers well. Have a look at what we've been up to!

We have practised our watercolour skills in art.

We used book blankets to explore a variety of texts. 

The cup stacking took our resilience to the next level. With record speeds of under 19 seconds for a whole pyramid!

We used teamwork to attempt to build the tallest lego tower. We learned that by having a solid base, it would allow us to have a taller, free-standing tower. 

We have been sharing and performing poetry as part of our English oracy work. The performances were great!
