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 

This afternoon we have been testing out different river systems such as tributaries, delta, meanders and waterfalls. 

We had a dress down day (and at the first count raised £200) for Children in Need. We also wore odd socks to celebrate the fact that we’re all different and support Anti Bullying Week.

Year 5 have begun work on A Midsummer Night’s Dream. 

We have been creating a geographical dictionary based on our topic of rivers.
