There is only one thing better than enjoying an amazing book which inspires the children…..hearing from the author of the book about how much he loves the work we have done. Well done year 5 and thank you S F Said. 

Year 5 are busy making Christmas cards for people who might be in hospital or a care home over the Christmas period. Such lovely children. 

It is sooooo cold we decided to do an experiment and see if we could freeze some bubbles. It worked. We watched them slowly freeze then collapse on themselves. Very exciting!

Very well done year 5 at your karate grading. Thank you Natalie, they have really enjoyed it. 

Today we did exercise with a difference. The children had to pedal fast enough to power a blender to make smoothies

Thank you so much Robin Hamm for coming in to talk to year 5 about the Christmas story. The children really enjoyed thinking about and talking about different perspectives and accounts of Christmas. 

Our spider plants have been sprouting lots of new runners so we have re-potted them and they will be coming to new homes with the children of year 5. 

Today we have been investigating magnetic force, making predictions and looking at which materials are magnetic 

We’ve been mapping rivers around the UK  using the digimaps programme. 

Year 5 have been using gymnastic moves to investigate angles 

We have been using Newton meters to investigate weight and gravitational force. 

Year 5 supporting and helping each other with understanding fractions
