The Moravian Settlement It was an absolute pleasure to take year 5 on their local field trip to The Moravian Settlement. We discussed what it would be like to have lived in the Moravian Settlement in the 1700's and researched how it has changed overtime.

Observing animal behaviours Today we researched David Attenborough and how he describes animal behaviours around the world. We ventured onto the school field and observed a range of invertebrates and used a code to note down their behaviours.

Science Week - March 2017 This week we celebrated Science week. We learnt about flowering plants and we have conducted a number of fair tests. Additionally, Mr Derbyshire visited our school and he showed us how the Earth has changed over time. We had the opportunity to explore a range of different fossils; we even touched a dinosaurs foot print!

Compass points - March 2017 Today we have been learning about compass points and natural and man-made features. We are looking forward to our geographical trip around our local area.

Dance - January 2017 This week in dance we have imagined what it would be like to be an Anglo Saxon! We created Anglo Saxon housing using body shapes whilst thinking about levels and we created freeze frame scenes from Mead- Halls.

 

Currently we are working towards making a Mayan Mask. First we researched different types of Mayan Masks and the we carefully designed our own. Next we worked in pairs to Papier-mâché a balloon and now we are adding our own personal features. We cannot wait to paint and decorate them!

In class this week we tried a range of Mayan cuisine such as salsa, guacamole, hot chocolate and even frog's spawn! After that we created our own Mayan Menu's. It was lots of fun!

We have been exploring weight, capacity and length. We have developed our measuring, estimating and converting skills

Year 5 have returned to school with outstanding attitudes and heaps of enthusiasm! On the first week back we explored what it means to 'Turn over a new leaf'. We created prayer flags asking God for guidance and support in this coming academic year and hung them on our special tree in front of the school.

Year 5 have kicked started the year off by participating in our class reading restaurant. We had a taste of lots of book genres and read lots of blurbs to get us excited to read a range and a variety of books this year. Remember it is essential to read every night and record it in the children's reading diaries.

On the 13th September the children celebrated Roald Dahl's centenary by dressing up as their favourite characters. Our class book is currently 'The BFG' and we are really enjoying it!

On 23rd September our class had a special visitor , A TIME LORD! She took us back in time to the Mayan Civilisation 4,000 years ago. We learnt lots of new interesting facts and even met King Pakal. What a wonderful way to start our topic!

On the 3rd of October our class had a visit from past pupil, Patrick Anglin. Patrick plays for Warrington Wolves Rugby Club and inspired everyone to achieve their dreams!
