Year 5

The children have been experimenting with different painting techniques.  They explored dabbing, stippling, washes of colour, pointillism and many more.  We discussed each technique and why it might be used.

The children used drama to explore the moment that Percy was discovered by Shackleton in our book ‘Ice Trap’.  The children then used their ideas to write a diary entry.

A fireman came to talk to the children about fire safety.  This included preventing fires and what to do in an emergency.

The children had a great time taking part in Captain Wonderweb’s Mental Health awareness pantomime!

They learned how to keep themselves mentally healthy by:

– Being active
– Using less tech
– Getting a healthy amount of sleep
– Eating a well-balanced diet
– Talking to people when we’re worried

We enjoyed our first Tag Rugby session with Kav.  We played lots of team games involving passing the ball correctly.

Maple class have been exploring different types of scientific enquiry.

We had to work out what a survey is, how we classify, carry out fair tests, investigate over time, look for patterns and use secondary sources.

In Science, Willow class investigated friction by measuring how far a car travels on different surfaces! They concluded that a rougher surface means that there will be more friction.

Year 5 were really excited to welcome back Mrs Vincent.  She taught us some new songs and music games.  We really enjoyed using instruments to explore pulse and rhythm.
