Year 5

Children were vert excited about their residential to Lineham Farm.  

The minibuses left at 10:15 to get to Lineham before 11.  

Children will spend up until lunchtime unpacking, making their beds and getting to know where things are. 

This week we tried some more advanced Micro bit coding. The children had 2 projects to work on. One involved programming the micro bit to give you a random direction to walk in. The other was creating a candle that you could blow out using the in built microphone.

Everyone successfully…

We have enjoyed learning about Africa as part of our cultural activities for cultural week.  

Our task was to make a ‘Zine’ or a travel poster about a chosen country in Africa.  

Here are class 15 in their cultural clothes!

ICT club returned this week and we made use of the Micro:bits kindly donated by Farnell UK.

We used the makecode editor to create a beating heart and a thermometer.

Everyone quickly picked up the basics so we will be creating something more taxing next week!

To celebrate Multi-Cultural Week, year 5 and 6 students visited the local mosque. 

The children learned more about Islam and how Eid is celebrated. The Imam explained his role within the mosque, and the children were given the opportunity to ask questions.

We looked at completing tasks set by Mrs Wainwright and Worship Council on thankfulness and integrity.  

It was nice to have time to reflect on what we are thankful for and also why having integrity is so important. 

In PSHE, we looked at reasons why it’s important to keep ourselves clean and we looked at different ways we can do this, such as brushing our teeth and washing our faces using face wash. 

We enjoyed reading ‘How to survive a Viking raid’ in English and we then answered mixed questions on the text. 

Class 13 have researched and presented information on England’s National parks. 

This week, class 13 have written and performed Greek Myth play scripts. 

We had a winning group of budding young actors. 

Check out the winning video!

Year 5 - As part of World Environment Day, class 13 designed an Earth that showed the negative impact we were having on our planet. We also showed how the planet could look if we cared for it.
