Year 5 enjoyed their outdoor learning yesterday! They observed the clouds, listened to the nature aroud them (including a cheeky robin who visited the willow!) and sourced some natural materials to help with their Maths equations work later on. After trying this introduction to the idea of Algebra in their books, Year 5 returned outside to form their equations! Using a key, where a leaf represented 1 and a stick equalled 5, the children worked in pairs to demonstrate how the materials from the key could be laid out as a sum, using chalk to write in the functions and the answers. Well
Welcome back to Autumn Term 2 in Year 5 which will be action packed in more ways than one! Our new topic is 'Can you crack the codes to become a Spy?' A firm favourite in Year 5, this topic presents some fantastic opportunities for writing! The children will create interesting character descriptions and mysterious settings, resulting in spine tingling spy narratives! They will adore Spy Day, with its opportunity to dress up as their very own spy, as well as being able to design and make their own spy gadgets! We also have Outdoor Learning Day and Polish Day this term to keep us busy,

Year 5 presented their creative homework projects to the class during the last week of the half term! We were treated to a variety of work including home made Victorian toys, posters to ban child labour, instructions on how to play Hopscotch, research about clothes of rich and poor Victorians and information on Queen Victoria's nine children! The most popular project was making a Victoria Sandwich; it was named after Queen Victoria herself when she used to enjoy this sponge cake for Afternoon Tea! Year 5 definitely enjoyed their slices of cake in the afternoon! They were all delicious!

We have some budding actors and actresses in Year 5! Some of the class became poor characters from our class text "Street Child", as well as "Emily" from the radio broadcast about a young lady from a wealthy family. The rest of the class asked some thought provoking questions and the characters were able to answer convincingly about their different lives and backgrounds. Brilliant moments of drama! Well done Year 5! Mrs Blomeley
