Thu 25 May 2023This week has flown by! We have finished and published our myths in English, we also worked on adding and subtracting with decimals greater than one in maths and as part of R.E. we have been learning more about Hinduism and Islam, what it means to follow their religions and comparing their similarities and differences. The highlight of the week was our Scottish day, we tried Scottish foods including savoury foods such as haggis, black pudding and Scotch pie as well as tasting a selection of delicious deserts including tablet and clootie dumpling. We also loved dressing up in traditional highland dress and were able to compete in highland games like Tug O’War, Caber Toss and Hammer Throw. We hope you all have a lovely half-term and stay safe!

Fri 19 May 2023This week, we were lucky enough to meet the Norseman Jarl Magnus, who led us through our Viking Day in his longhouse- where we learned about the Viking way of life and history and in the woods, making dens, scavenging for building materials as the Vikings would have had to do. Additionally, we have learned about the Anglo-Saxon king Alfred the Great and read Beowulf a little more. In Science, we have studied conductors and insulators of electricity. We have been able to design our torch ready to make before half term.

Fri 19 May 2023On Monday, we were really excited to get back in the swimming pool after our bank holidays. This week, we have also started to write our myth in English and have moved on to a new topic in maths on decimals. In science, we have planned and completed an investigation in groups to find out which material makes the best thermal insulator. In our topic lesson, we compared a town in Scotland (Polbeth) to our town Stapleford, looking at the similarities and differences into their populations, physical features and human features. To end the week, lots of the children in Year 5 performed in the choir and played instruments to the rest of the school in our Friday’s assembly. A great performance!
