A big thank you to the parents who came to Year 5 tonight to look at their child’s books. The children were very keen to show off the work they have produced so far in Year 5, and rightly so! Parents enjoyed seeing their work and the children should be very proud! Mrs Blomeley

Year 5’s new writing genre is Balanced Arguments! They started the genre with a discussion, related to their upcoming Class Compliments afternoon. The class had a split decision as to whether they should wear pyjamas or not for their well-earned treat? Arguments for both sides were put forward, with some excellent points of view. The question was, did they manage to persuade anyone to change their minds? Mrs Blomeley

To complete their Science topic on Forces, Year 5 had a challenge to use air resistance to create a parachute that could land their "egg" astronaut safely, in the slowest possible time! The children followed their own designs, with a few adaptations, and tried to use materials that would give their parachutes the greatest air resistance. After our testing, the children unwrapped their carefully covered eggs, to reveal whether they had landed intact! Brilliant scientific work Year 5! And great fun too! Mrs Blomeley
