• Thursday 30 January 2025 Fabric Crumbs! Today we had such a lovely afternoon! We continued our 'Mixed Media' unit in art by learning about different fabrics and started to make our 'fabric crumbs'. Year 5 had to carefully select fabrics using their understanding of line, texture, shape and colour and layer them carefully to create a fabric collage. We will be continuing these over the coming weeks and look forward to sharing our final pieces with you. Well done Year 5 - you are amazing!

• Friday 10 January 2025 Presenting Maths! In maths this week, we have been learning about adding and subtracting fractions including mixed numbers. Year 5 have not only excelled at their mathematical learning but it has been so lovely to see them presenting their learning to the class. In oracy, we have been practising presenting in small groups. It is wonderful to now see how naturally the children are transferring these skills in different lessons. Well done Year 5!
• Thursday 9 January 2025 Mapping out Mythology! A very exciting start to the new term in Year 5... we have been mapping out mythology! Our unit this term in writing is focused around the book, 'Arthur and the Golden Rope'by Joe Todd-Stanton. We began this week learning about Norse Mythology and discovered who some of the villains, heroes and monsters are and where they lived in the Norse world. We will be continuing to learn about mythology this term and are looking forward to writing our own myths at the end of the unit and sharing them with you.
• Thursday 19 December 2024 Designing a market garden This week we have used all the disciplinary skills we have been learning about in geography to design our own market garden in our 'Innovate Journal'. We had to decide a suitable location and give a six-figure grid reference using an ordnance survey map. We then had to describe the geographical features of our site and why we had chosen it. We used our knowledge of seasonality to create a planting and growing plan and decided how we would transport our goods using the transport links in our local area. Well done Year 5 - you are 'Great Geographers!'
