Today we began to create our own competitive games 

We turned the classroom into a giant dictionary using words related to materials and their properties 

Some of our maths wizards have been taking part in a competition between other schools at Dowdales today. 

A gorgeous morning of pond dipping, looking at habitats and the animals which live there.

What a fantastic morning we had at Dowdales, so many exciting things to do and such a lovely class. They are very full after the break time feast and making carrot cakes

A great day at St Bernard's with lots of exciting activities. 

A fabulous day at Walney Nature Reserve with a brilliant class. We didn’t spot many seals but we played in the dunes, went on a bug hunt and had a wonderful walk 

Today in English we have been investigating the surface of Mars and the impact meteorites can have on the surface of a planet. Excellent science through English. 

Today we have been working on our map reading and compass skills

Thank you to Catherine from the Wordsworth Trust who came to see year 5 and do a review of our Shakespeare play. 

We are so very lucky, the author S F Said has sent us copy of his new book Tyger and dedicated it to the children of Roose School. 

This afternoon we have been dissecting flowers and identifying the different parts.
