Year 5- Otters and Frogs

Lever Cup

Some of our children had a fantastic time and were incredibly lucky to see two of the top three tennis players in the world this year. It was an unforgettable opportunity that created lots of excitement and memories to share back at school. Everyone had a great day and thoroughly enjoyed travelling on the tube and train too, adding to the adventure!

3D Shapes

We have been working really hard in Maths this week. Our lessons were all about looking at 3D shapes and their properties. To help us with our learning, we used multi-link cubes to help us visualise the shapes. We had so much fun making the shapes and making predictions about how many cubes would be used for irregular 3D shapes. We then took our learning to the next step and looked at parallel and perpendicular faces and edges. It was challenging work, but we are really proud of ourselves for persevering.

Trumpet Practice

In Year 5, we have been lucky enough to welcome back Mr Royston to continue teaching us how to play the trumpet. We recapped how to hold our trumpet; how to read music and now have started to learn how to play 'We Will Rock You' by Queen! We can't wait to learn the whole song and perform together.

 

Settling into Year 5

Year 5 have had a fantastic start to the school year and have settled in incredibly well. We have started reading our class text 'Winter of the Wolves' by Tony Bradman, and are already hooked! In our History lessons, we have begun to learn about where the Anglo-Saxons originated from, and where they settled in Great Britain. We have also got stuck straight into revising our multiplication facts using TT Rock Stars and other fun techniques.
