Wow year 5 have been absolutely A-M-A-Z-I-N-G in G-Block the past couple of weeks with our new music sessions! Not only do they look the part, but they are sounding brilliant and are developing and deepening their knowledge and understanding of music too! We have looked at different music notes, revised key words such as tempo and pitch, and the children can tell you the importance and purpose of a beat, as well as the style of different songs. They have enjoyed the vocal warm ups and have also loved learning our main song ‘Livin’ On A Prayer’ which we will continue to practice over the next few weeks ready for a final performance!

Keep it up my little rockstars!! I’m really impressed 😀

During our next case study, Year 5 children will be learning about the heart and circulatory system as part of their science curriculum work for this expedition. The children will get the chance to dissect a lamb’s heart. In the past, children have found this session extremely beneficial and gained a greater depth of understanding of the organ and how it functions. We understand, however, that there may be some children who will not feel comfortable with this, and so we will ensure that only children who want to take part in the activities do so.

We will also take all the necessary safety precautions required, purchasing hearts of food quality and making sure that the children wash their hands thoroughly after the activity. Please could you ensure that your child brings into school an apron or an oversized old shirt to protect their school uniform. These activities will take place on Wednesday 11th May. If you have any concerns regarding this activity, please contact your child’s class teacher or through the Y5/6 phase email [email protected]

Thank you and best wishes

Y5 team
