Autumn 2

Week One

 

PSHE - Celebrating Differences

This week in PSHE, we have been learning about cultural diversity. We played games from China and Europe and celebrated diversity in the UK.

 Week Two

Science - Lesson 1 Space

In Science this week, we began our new unit 'Space'. The children began by sharing some of the interesting facts they already knew. After that, we drew the planets in our book to show the order of the planets. Finally, we used the Chromebooks to research interesting facts about the 8 planets in our solar system.

 Week Three

 

Viking Day - Meerkats

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!
