To help Year 5 with programming in computing, we were introduced to Lego Spike by Mrs Haywood. We had to build our models and then programme them to move and make sounds. It was great fun!
In science, Year 5 have been learning about different materials. We made oobleck which we found out is a very unusual material!
Year 5 had a great time learning about Anglo-Saxons at Jarrow Hall.
Jude was the lucky winner of the the Year 5 ‘spooktacular’ sweet bucket.
Well done, Jude!
The children in Year 5 enjoyed exploring the technique of filtering to clean different particles out of water.
Year 5 had a really interesting morning listening to the author S.F. Said talk about his books Varjak Paw, Phoenix and Tyger. He told us why he became an author, where he got his ideas from and we were shocked at how long it has taken him to write his books!
We can’t wait to start reading his books now!
Years 5 and 6 headed to the coast this week to take part in the Great North Run Fit for the Finish event. The children participated in a 1.4km run and were rewarded with a special appearance from none other than Sir Mo Farah! Despite it being his last professional race, Sir Mo took the time to warm up with the children, share some running tips and then take some questions from the children once they were all done. We had a fabulous morning. Well done everyone!
For our DT topic this half term, Year Five have been exploring how to modify recipes and adapt them to our own tastes. We started with a basic bolognese recipe and looked at the aspects we could change or improve.
In our last lesson, we worked in groups to make the final changes and then, today, worked hard to create our versions bolognese! We made four variations: a traditional beef mince bolognese, an extra veg bolognese, one using turkey mince and courgettes and one using plant-based protein. We thoroughly enjoyed cooking and sampling everything but the recipe with the most votes was the healthy turkey mince recipe!
To celebrate the opening of the new coastal path in September, Creative Seed have worked with all our children to rehearse an amazing carnival dance.
The children have been encouraged to attend the parade and join in the dances – once we know more specific information we will be sure to let you know!
It’s that time of year when we gather together to share our achievements throughout the year. Nursery and Year 5 were first up to share files and books with parents. We are all very proud of the progress the children have made this year 😊
