Year 5 Blog

In the Autumn term the Eco leaders and their chosen helpers from each class planted crocus and daffodil bulbs with the help of the members of the Tameside Rotary. The crocuses were donated by the Tameside Rotary to commemorate the End Polio Now campaign.  Now that it is the beginning of spring the flowers are starting to grow.  Fabulous job everyone!  Please make sure that any litter is picked up, as we sadly found a number of pieces of litter near the new flowers.

 Year 5 enjoyed the first session of their new focus in PE today - OAA.  Their task was a team building challenge where they had to demonstrate agility, balance, coordination and precision.  They had to use non-verbal communication to solve a problem - to get into alphabetical order by surname, all on the bench, without stepping off!  They were only allowed to use hand gestures - no talking or mouthing! All of the teams were impressive - they put their dictionary skills to great use!  Well done everyone!  Mrs Blomeley 

Year 5's Gymnastic objective was to work with a partner to travel over and under, on both  the floor and benches.  The children certainly delivered!  No two sequences were the same - they improved their work each week to create interesting ways to travel under and over each other.  Brilliant work Year 5!  Mrs Blomeley

Year 5 enjoyed the various disciplines of Athletics last half term!  They worked hard in our Hurdles, Javelin and Baton relay sessions and some of the children were chosen to represent school at the Indoor Athletic competition for Tameside.  Well done to all of you!   Mrs Blomeley
