Autumn Term 2

Week One

 

PSHE - Celebrating Differences

In PSHE this week, we have been learning about cultural diversity and played games from China and Europe. We celebrated differences and diversity within the UK.

 Week Two

Guided Reading - Drama

In Guided Reading, we have been reading a text called 'Do Aliens Really Exist?' The text is about the controversy over whether aliens exist and how some people believe and others don't. The text talks about an incident in Roswell, USA. We practised interviewing each other and asking questions about what was seen. We could choose whether we were a skeptic or a believer.

 Week Three

Viking Day - Hummingbirds

On Monday, Year 5 had an unforgettable Viking Day as our visiting experts bought history to life! The children looked fantastic in their costumes and spent the morning creating traditional Viking crafts before learning some battle formations. In the afternoon, the children became archaeologists, carefully digging through soil to uncover Viking artefacts and exploring what these discoveries could tell us about life in the past. It was a brilliant day of hands-on learning and adventure! A huge thank you to all the adult volunteers too!

 Week  Four 

We have had a very busy week. We have finished our stories and published them in our Writing Journals and we have adding and subtracting mixed numbers in Maths. In Science, we learnt about night and day and in History thought about who might have been king after Edward the Confessor. In Music, we started our unit for singing and sang some Christmas songs. We are looking forward to sharing them with an audience on the 17th December. 

 

Week 5

In PE this week, we played a range of team games. We mixed all 3 classes up and got into teams of around 10. We started off with a relay race where we tried to move a cone up and down an obstacle course using only our feet - this proved quite difficult! After this, we had to hold hands in our line and get a hoop from one end to the other without letting go; we were impressed with how easily some groups found this! Then we played the good-old 'over/under' game with a basketball. Finally, we put all these games together in an obstacle course and raced against each other. There was a lot of excitement and it was a very close race at the end!
