Week 5

We have been continuing our Geography topic about Trade and Economics, and this week we have been finding out Fair Trade and how it benefits farmers and their communities when we buy Fair Trade 

products. The children loved their self-led art SEMH lesson and their creations were amazing. We are loving Skellig and have been making predictions about the book, based on character’s actions and emotions. In math we have been problem solving and adding and subtracting numbers up to 10,000. Some of our Y5 students put their new BMX skills to the test at the Pump Track, Chopwell. Read of our exciting writing about Rock, Paper, Scissors in the photo section. 

Week 4

This week week some of our Y5 children continued to develop their BMX skills ready for the visit to the Pump track next week. In street dance, we continued to learn the new routine and everyone participated amazingly well. In science the children were challenged with deciding whether statements were true or false and justifying their choices. 

Week 3

In our reading of Skellig, we have been finding evidence to either support or refute statements. In Maths, we have been learning about the place value of numbers up to 1,000,000 and in arithmetic we have been continuing to learn about adding fractions. In our Geography lessons about trade we have been studying world maps and identifying which countries the UK imports and exports to. Our dance routines are coming along brilliantly in our Street Dance sessions and year 5 have been continuing to develop their BMX cycling  skills. Check out the art we did in the photos below for week 1 of our self-led art- we think you’ll be amazed! 

Week 2

What a busy week- the children have been learning about setting in Skellig. We have started our new Geography topic about Trade and the children have been finding out about exports and imports from and to the UK. In Maths, we have learning about place value up to 10,000,000. In PE, they practiced their  dance skills and in Art, they have been drawing self-portraits. 
The year 5 pupils also had the opportunity of some BMX coaching with a British Cycling coach. 

Week 1

What a wonderful first week back we’ve had in class 5/6. The children have all been happy, settled and very well behaved. We have been practising our drawing skills, sketching facial features and improving our drawing and shading techniques. In Bushcraft, we set to work in the allotment, weeding and fruit picking. In Maths,  we have been practising the four operations of calculation and in English we have been writing letters to Mrs Singleton and recipes for a successful school year.
