Year 5 can feel the force!

Year 5's new Science topic is FORCES and we have been testing a nember of theories. For example: "Does the force of a push make a toy car go further?" Yes, we predicted, and our results confirmed this. "Would a small, light ball fall slower than a large, heavy ball?" Using different size balls and timers we put this to the test and compared our predictions with the results. You'd be surprised! We also found out that Force is measured in newtons and spent some time measuring newtons of different items around the classroom using different scales of Newton meters.

From Tuesday to Thursday of Science Week Year 5 enjoyed working on the different space themes: Outer Space, Digital Space, Personal Space and Built Space. The Planetarium workshop enabled Year 5 to embed their new found knowledge of the Solar System, whilst discovering more about stars and constellations. They used Digital Space to create scientific Scratch projects based around food chains and in Personal Space they investigated how different colours made them feel.

On the final day of Science Week, Year 5 and Year 6 chose to work together on "Open Spaces". We made the short walk to Gorse Hall armed with black bags, string and cardboard to create their dens. Accompanied by myself, Mrs Austin, Mrs Gething and Mrs Brereton, the children thoroughly enjoyed the activity and the end results were fabulous! More importantly we were all extremely impressed by their team spirit and hard work. Well done to you all! Mrs Blomeley

It was a week later than planned (due to the snow day) but it was definitely worth waiting for! Year 5's costumes were amazing! They included Maid Marion, Stick Man, Mr Bean, Gangsta Granny, Cruella de Vil, Greg from Diary of a Wimpy Kid together with some old favourites such as Wanda from Where's Wally and Mary Poppins! We were extremely lucky to have visits from some mums, dads and grandmas to read stories to the class which they all thoroughly enjoyed. Thank you! Mrs Blomeley

Year 5 have been learning about Earth and the Solar System this term. They were given a task to create chalk pictures of the planets, making sure they were drawn to scale and placed in their position in relation to the Sun. The childlren have learnt a mnemonic to help them remember this information: My Very Easy Method Just Speeds Up Naming (planets). Mars, Venus, Earth, Mercury, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. The class demonstrated great team work (look how many children helped to make the Sun) and also had great fun. The results were very impressive. Well done Year 5!

Teachers, pupils and parents all agreed that Year 5's Exploring Europe assembly was fabulous! Where else would you find Albert Einstein, J. K. Rowling and the Pope in one place? Following the assembly family members visited Year 5's classroom to pit their wits on some quizzes about Europe that the children had created. We had baby cousins, brothers, mums. dads, grandads, grandmas and even a great grandma! We all enjoyed it as you can see from our photographs! A huge thank you to everyone who came.

As part of their topic this term, EXPLORING EUROPE! Year 5 have been busy buiding some famous landmarks from around Europe. These include the famous Eiffel Tower in France, the iconic and ancient buildings of the Colosseum in Italy and the Parthenon in Greece, to one of the world's most prestigious football venues - the Santiago Bernebau Stadium. Two groups decided to build some lesser known buildings; the Palace of Culture and Science, Poland's tallest building and St.

Maths Creative Week was enjoyed by everyone! Year 5 began the week by creating their own rhyme, based on cubed numbers! They also did an investigation to help them understand the meaning of cubed numbers and used lots of multi links to make their own cubes! Other classroom activities, such as making a pig pen with the largest possible area, really challenged Year 5's reasoning skills and helped their understanding of area and perimeter.

Year 5 travelled back in time to the Victorian age when they visited Quarry Bank Mill in Styal on 7th October. Dressed in clothes of the Victorian period, the children arrived as apprentices and stepped right into a school lesson! Apart from writing and maths they were taught about some of the medical procedures of the time, such as bloodsucking leeches! A visit to the mill, where they experienced the noisy machinery, helped them to empathise with the poor children who worked there two hundred years ago. We all enjoyed the day as you can see from this selection of photographs.
