Welcome to Year 5 we are working hard and making every minute count. Here you will find a selection of photos to showcase what we have been learning so far.
Here is this terms Big picture for our class
National Science Week
As it is National Science week Year 5 have been working scientifically to carry out a straw rocket experiment. The lesson was practical and fun. We focused on our variables and how we could ensure the test was fair but also looking at modifications we could make to help our rockets travel further in distance. Next, we will be creating graphs from our results and discussing how we will present this to the rest of the school in our sharing assembly on Friday.
World Book Day
World Book Day was a week really dedicated to our love of reading and sharing this with one another in a variety of ways. We chose an author to show case to the rest of the school- Frank Cottrell-Boyce the children each researched and produced a non-chronological report which formed our whole class display in the photos. We also worked collaboratively to design and create a book door which we are incredibly proud of. We had the chance to take our reading outside our classroom enjoying reading in the sunshine and with younger peers later in the week. We also had a fantastic time at our reading café inviting people from home to share reading time with us.
Practical Maths
As part of our measurement topic in Maths this week we have been focusing on time. Today we had a practical lesson which saw each child challenged individually through adaptation setting the clock to apply into a written activity tomorrow.
Box 2b Fit
We were lucky to kick start this half-term with another visit from Dave. We had a fantastic Box 2b Fit circuit with our class the children worked hard, helped one another and most of all enjoyed their learning.
