Year 5 started their Haka sessions n PE on Friday! Their ultimate aim is to create a Haka dance for one of the Rainforest tribes that they've learnt about. They need to use tactics to scare opposing tribes and Year 5 have definitely got off to a great start! Watch this space! Mrs Blomeley

As part of their topic, Year 5 created some newly discovered fruit yesterday! To begin with, they sketched the interesting designs of some real fruit, such as oranges, kiwi and pomegranate. Their next step will be to paint their drawings and add detail. For instance, they might design a new purple kiwi, or a turquoise pomegranate! Finally, they will create a new Chapter of their class text to describe how it was found with a detailed description of how it looks, feels and tastes! Fantastic work to all our talented artists in Year 5! Mrs Blomeley
Welcome back to Spring Term 2 in Year 5 where our topic "Why should the world's rainforests matter to all of us?" continues, in our attempt to explore the impact of climate change. This term we will focus on presenting an assembly to Key Stage 2, to impart Year 5's new found knowledge about this growing problem. We will explore Greta Thunberg's book about her own efforts to help the planet and we will continue to read the award winning novel "The Explorer" by Katherine Rundell. The class will write their own adventure narratives about

Year 5 had some intelligent and in depth discussions this week to look at the stages of child development in our Life Cycles topic in Science. For instance, at what age would a child start to recognise sounds in words? Or when would they read a range of books independently? They used their knowledge of themselves or their younger and older siblings to decide. This is an example of Science Capital - what you know about scientific literacy and your related knowledge. Brilliant work Year 5! Mrs Blomeley

Year 5's Creative Homework Presentations were amazing! They all chose an endangered animal to research and then delivered their presentations in class! They ranged from power points to hand made posters, with a Herules Beetle cake thrown into the mix! Year 5's presenting and listening skills were so impressive and we all learnt so much! Thank you and well done everyone! Mrs Blomeley
