Our First Days in Year 5

Here are some photos from our first two days in Year 5. This week we have been working in different ways. Independently, with a partner and in a group.

Thank you for all of your comments on our blog and for your excellent attitude this week!

Beat For A Treat BBQ Afternoon!

Our Beat For A Treat target this term for attendance is 93.8% - If we can hit this target we will be going outside for the whole afternoon, putting on some music, enjoying the sunshine (hopefully!) and having a BBQ!

Good luck Year 5  - I love BBQs so I really hope we can achieve our target.

There's Snow Time Like The Present!

As we have had a snow day today, I thought I would take the time to update our blog with some of the things we have been getting up to in the past two weeks.

If you watch the slide show below you should be able to see us researching and presenting information on our new topic - Earth and Beyond!

You will also be able to see Alice's amazing alliteration, Davey's delightful similes, a magnificent method for multiplication and some helpful hints for hopeful historians!



See you all tomorrow,
Mr. Lee

Our Creative Week

We have had a very creative week in Year 5!

On Tuesday we were visited by Peter Swidrak who showed us some wonderful artwork. We were then set about the task of identifying features from each piece of art - some of them were hidden very sneakily!

After this, Peter gave us pieces of paper with very simple shapes drawn on them. Our task was to use our creativity to transform these basic shapes in to full drawings. You can see some of our wonderful work in the slideshow below.



You can also see some of our decorated biscuits from Friday on the slideshow; they didn't last long!

Finally, I hope to see many of you at our Christmas Production next week - Year 5 have worked really hard to learn our songs and can't wait to show them off to everyone!

Mr. Lee
