Fri 12 May 2023We would to say a HUGE well done to all of the children for the effort that they have put in and the attitude that they have shown this week. We are so proud of you all! It was lovely to see so many at breakfast club each day too. The party lunch and film afternoon was a great way to celebrate and end the week. Next week, we will be starting our new Scandinavia topic.

Fri 12 May 2023This week we have continued to learn about the Anglo Saxons and the Vikings. We discovered the brutality of the invasions from Scandinavia and will be writing a newspaper report about the events at Lindesfarne. We have created switches for circuits in preparation to create our torches and have discovered why circuits may not work in Science.
We are looking forward to the trip on Monday to Perlethorpe, where we will meet a Viking and discover a Viking longhouse. Children will need to wear school uniform top and PE bottoms and trainers. Please remember a water bottle and packed lunch (unless ordered from school). I will try to order sunshine!

Fri 05 May 2023What a week! Four days has flown by. Today, we have been celebrating King Charles' Coronation. In class, we have written a non-chronological report about him and explored how long previous Kings and Queens reigned for. We had a lovely celebration lunch and it was great to have children from Albany Infants with us. In topic, we learnt about different festivals in Scotland and how they celebrate them. In science, we looked at the difference between dissolving and melting and what happens when some solids are melted.
Due to the bank holiday, there will be no swimming on Monday but we have set spellings for next week (see below). Please help encourage your child to learn them.
We hope you all have a fantastic weekend and will see you Tuesday!

Fri 05 May 2023This week has flown with it only being 4 days but we have been as busy as usual. We have been planning and beginning to write our own stories based on Cressida Cowell's 'How to Train Your Dragon " and have continued to read the Anglo-Saxon saga of Beowulf. In Science, we were able to experiment with Scientific electrical components (wires, bulbs, cells and batteries) in order to make a circuit. Linking to this in DT, torches have been studied- their purpose, the different types, when they may be used and what their casings are like and why. We will be making our version of a torch in a few weeks. The children have been asked to think about what they want their casing to be like. They have studied nets and so could use card, however is there something you have at home that they could use? A kitchen roll, plastic bottle etc...
Have a lovely extra Bank holiday weekend.

Fri 28 Apr 2023It has been another busy week with lots of Maths, SPAG and reading work. We are really impressed with how well the children are working during our revision sessions. It's not long now - keep going! The children evaluated the carousels that they made before Easter and thought about what went well and what could be improved. We're also looking forward to our coronation celebrations next week. Enjoy the long weekend!

Fri 28 Apr 2023Another good week in Year 5. In maths, we have been using a protractor to measure and draw angles which always proves to be a little tricky. However, the children have done really well. In English, we have continued or work on debating whether or not the Loch Ness Moster is real and the children have been writing a balanced argument to present the reasons for and against the monster's existence. In science, we have been looking at the solubility of different materials and making saturated solutions. Below are attached the spellings for next week. Please help your child to learn them. Have a lovely weekend!

Fri 28 Apr 2023This week, we have been continuing with our topic of the Anglo-Saxons and Vikings, learning more about their way of life and place names that originated in these times. In English, we have written a letter from a Viking King trying the persuade the Anglo- Saxons to settle (clearly this did not work!). and have started to plan a story based on the How to Train your Dragon stories, having researched the author, Cressida Cowell.
We have enjoyed this but are looking forward to an extra day to the weekend next with Bank Holiday Monday. 🙂
