We have come back from a wonderful half term break with such an AMAZING attitude in class 5! I have been so impressed with everyone’s hard work, enthusiasm and incredible behaviour. I can’t quite believe we are now in our final half term of the year and I’m already getting upset at the thought of my wonderful year 5 class moving on!
We have got things started with a BANG this week with our first school trip of the year, introducing our brand-new topic ‘Great Britain’ and even a day of road traffic safety training.
During our first few history lessons on our new topic ‘Great Britain’ we have learned what the words monarchy and chronology mean. We have learned all the names of our monarchs in Great Britain from 1066 until modern day and some cool and interesting facts about lots of them. For example, did you know that Charles II was known as a party animal and he was the first person to introduce champagne into England?!
We also learned SO much information during our road traffic safety training session and had a lot of fun doing it. We were even asked to sit a hazard perception test! We are all now confident in how to safely cross the roads. Remember: STOP, LOOK, LISTEN, THINK whenever you try to cross a road.
Finally, we attended a very exciting school trip to Jodrell Bank today. Jodrell Bank is described online as “a landmark of scientific discovery, a site of Outstanding Universal Value, and home to the development of radio astronomy.” It was just that! We got to see a huge working telescope, sit in an awesome planetarium and find out tonnes of cool and interesting information about Earth and Space. We also made sure to sing lots of songs on our long bus journey’s and even squeeze in a few games of Bingo!
I would like to finish by saying a massive thank you to the children of Class 5 this week, especially today for their impeccable behaviour and manners. They made myself, the school and themselves so proud! Well done!

As we come to the end of the day of our penultimate half term in class 5, I just wanted to write how proud I am of all our pupils in class.
They have had such an amazing half term and have been SO enthusiastic towards their learning, they have really enjoyed learning about fossil fuels, renewable energy and how we can help the environment. We have taken part in so many cool and exciting science experiments with some really amazing hypothesis and predictions being made by all students and in our D&T project they have made some incredible eco-friendly phone cases out of felt and thread. We have some really talented sewers in our class, I must say!
On top of all the work we have done, we have had lots of fun, lots of laughs and lots of smiles in class this half term too which is probably the reason it has just flown by!
A HUGE well done to everyone in class 5, I hope you and your families have a wonderful half term and can’t wait to welcome you all back to school in a week’s time when we will start our final half term and our brand-new topic of ‘Great Britain’!

We have had another great week in Class 5, our penultimate week before we break up for our half term break.
The class have shown phenomenal behaviour and a fantastic attitude towards their learning this week.
We have worked on writing a formal, persuasive piece of text in English and I have been so proud of how the children took the time to edit and improve their work to make it EVEN better.
In Maths we have been looking at place value once again to consolidate our knowledge in this area as we approach our final half term of Year 5.
We have had the opportunity to complete some more brilliant science experiments this week and even took part in a reading event for the amazing author and TV presenter, Stephen Mulhern.
All in all, a fab week! Well done, Class 5!

I am afraid we have had another technical glitch in Y5 with our computer this week and unfortunately, the blog which was written by our very own Autumn and Freya has somehow managed to delete itself!!
I have tried to recover it but have been unable to do so.
My apologies.

I am proud to say that we have had another incredible week in Class 5. Once again, I have been blown away with the enthusiasm for learning that these wonderful students display!
We have had another busy week, despite it only being 4 days long, and have managed to pack in persuasive presentations in English linked to climate control, how to answer questions involving money and how to budget for an event in maths, what a solution is and how to separate the materials that it is made up of in science and much, much more.
This week’s blog has been written by our very own Jackson and Tiana. We hope you have as much fun reading it, as they did writing it. Enjoy!

ENGLISH!
We’ve been learning about climate change in English this week and today we used this knowledge to do a presentation about how to stop global warming because it’s getting dangerous and animals are getting extinct; polar bears are suffering from there ice caps melting so they won’t have a home or food. We all must work together to help stop climate change.
MATHS!
In maths we been solving problems with money (on the worksheet it had Peppa pig and Dora, it was a bit funny and crazy) and there were questions where we had add up the amount like e.g. a carrot cost £1.30 an apple cost £2.40 how much is it all together. It was so hard and it did make mine and Jackson’s brains go a little fuzzy but we did get the hang of it in the end. Today we had a really fun lesson putting to use all of our learning about money. We had had to create our own party but we only had £1000. We needed to budget for food, entertainment and drinks. Some of the parties we created sounded really fun like having a bouncy castle and a pet petting station with unlimited milkshake.
MUSIC!
In music we have played a cornet, baritone and trombone (but Jack plays a trumpet) and we’ve learnt all the notes. There are an A, B, C, D, E, F, G and we know how to read notes and play them. At first when we looked at them, we had no idea what they meant and now we know everything about them. FUN FACT! At the end of each lesson, we play the name game.
PE!
In PE we have done circuit training. Myself and Jackson were exhausted by the time we were finished, we were melting at the end. We had to take part in a circuit of lots of different exercises on the playground. In our other PE lesson we did orienteering and it was very fun. We had to read a key and use to key to help us solve 3 jigsaw puzzles, easy, medium and hard.
YEAR 6 SATS!!!!!!
We would like to give a massive well done to year 6 because it might have been hard for them this week having to complete their SATS. Our whole class had to very quiet each morning so that they could concentrate on their S.A.T.S which was tricky but I bet not as tricky as having to actually do the tests. Well done year 6.
