Class 11: Blog items

Year 5 have been working on their science unit on forces this week. Earlier in the week we explored friction and later we went onto looking at water resistance.
We compared the time a ball of plasticine took to fall through the air and through water. We found out the ball falling through the water took longer than the one in the air.
Year 5 then carried out an experiment to test how the shape of the ball would affect the time it took to fall through water. We found that more streamline shapes helped the ball to fall quicker.
Manners, courtesy and respect in Year 5.

In PSHE sessions, Year 5 we have been exploring the importance of manners, courtesy and respect. To begin with, we looked at what each of these meant. We also used role play, small group and peer discussions to look at a range of different scenarios in which we would need to use our manners or show respect towards others. It was amazing to hear how positively many of our children would respond in different situations.
Later on, our focus shifted towards looking at what would make a good leader. The child came up with an array of characteristic and because great minds think alike, there were many points that every group of children came up with such as being a positive role model, a good listener, being fair, being democratic, and showing respect and much more.
Throughout the rest of the term, Year 5 will be setting themselves personal goals to ensure that they use their manners, courtesy and respect. We also look forwards to seeing the children conduct themselves as good leaders.

Y5 have started their topic on Tudors and have learnt about the Battle of Bosworth and how Henry VII became King.
This week, the children have been busy developing their artistic skills in art while drawing their own portraits of Tudor Monarchs. To begin with, they sketched an outline of the king or queen and then added more fine details. Finally, to add more depth, they shaded their drawings using colour pencils. The finished pieces are fantastic and the children had paid a great deal of attention to detail. Y5 are very proud their work and so are we.

Y5 have had a wonderful start to the year. They have settled in well and displayed maturity and enthusiasm for learning.
In literacy, Class 11 have been reading ‘The Secret Lake’ by Karen Inglis and Class 12 have been reading ‘The Wreck of the Zanzibar.’ by Michael Morpurgo. Both classes have thoroughly enjoyed reading the books. They have planned, written and edited great diary entries. They were a pleasure to read.
In Maths, Year 5 have started the term with place value. They have shown a good grasp of the value of different numbers and were able to read and write numbers up to a million. It was also great to see that many of our children have used their time well in the summer holidays and have been learning their tables.
Well done and keep it up Year 5!

What an amazing week that Year 5 have had. As part of our curriculum week, we have been working with Chester Zoo to create a new style of orienteering lesson.
