Year 5 Maths quizmathsters

This week we took four teams to Summerhill Secondary School to take part in the maths quizmathsters competition. Our children competed fabulously and made us so proud. One of the teams created a fantastic tower to claim the grand prize and another of our teams came 2nd overall. One of our children even remembered Pi to 86 decimal places!!!

5CS ‘Day of the Dead’ masks

We have enjoyed creating these wonderful ‘Day of the Dead’ masks using a range of media.

Year 6 Ascension Day Celebrations

We have had a fantastic day celebrating Ascension Day with the children sharing their amazing talents.

Day of the Dead art in 5/6M

 

We have immersed ourselves into our art in the afternoons this week. We’ve learnt about the Day of the Dead festival and the role of art in this. We have looked at the work of Frida Karloff and explored the colours and symbols by designing our own calavera.  We loved transferring 2D work onto 3D masks.

SATs Revision Games

Our Year 6 children have been working hard to prepare for their SATs tests next week, so today we played some games to support their revision.

5/6M Forces in Science

We’ve had a busy and fun afternoon investigating the effects of air resistance in Science.  First, we felt the force of air resistance on the playground, then we explored the impact of surface area and finally made paper aeroplanes to determine the impact of a streamlined shape moving through the air.

Safeside trip

Years 5 and 6 visited Safeside, which is a full-sized indoor safety village. They were taught about the fire service, life skills, personal safety, road and car safety and staying safe in the home.

Father Chris leads our RE lessons in Years 5 & 6

Thank you Father Chris for coming in to help us to develop our understanding of salvation. We thought about four pictures and interpreted these in our own way, recording our ideas in the four parts of the cross. Well done Iris, Ernie and Eleanora for some super examples of work.
