Year 5 Blog

Year 5 enjoyed their Crumble Coding workshop today!  Their aim was to make a piece of wearable tech to link to their rainforest topic.  They used coding to create algorithms to light different colours, for varying durations.  After all their hard work, they paraded their creations down a "catwalk", whilst explaining the purpose of their hats or belts.  The children had some fantastic ideas, ranging from warning that a dangerous animal is close, to sending out distress signals, as well as lighting up the forest floor to seek out rainforest animals.  Dom and Sue, the instructors, were amazed

Over the holidays why not take part in the Winter Mini Challenge?

All you have to do is read at least 3 books between Wednesday 1st December and Sunday 16th January. Once you've read a book, add it to your website profile at summerreadingchallenge.org.uk and review it. Add 3 books (or more) to complete the Mini Winter challenge and become a Wild World Hero!

There's a brand new certificate and a limited edition virtual badge which can be won.

Congratulations to our dancers for competing in the Tameside Urban Extreme Competition. You had superb moves! 

A movie and popcorn, followed by a Chocolate Tombola and Lucky Dip, with a chance to win the Christmas Sloth by guessing his name, meant Year 5 enjoyed their Pyjama Afternoon on Friday to celebrate the school Christmas Fair!  Thank you to the PTFA and all parents for their donations.  The children had a great time!  Mrs Blomeley
