How can a healthy lifestyle impact your body and mind?
On Tuesday 9th July at 2pm our Year 5 families are welcome to join us on the KS2 playground to celebrate our children’s Expedition learning from this term. The event will then restart from 3 – 4 o’clock for any parents that wish to join us after school.
Please enter school and sign in at the school office. There will be somebody waiting to greet you and bring you down to the classrooms.
We will be using technology to access some of the activities and the final product so please bring along any phones, iPads or tablets.
We look forward to celebrating with you all!
Year 5 Crew!
A quick reminder that Y5 and Y6 family will take place on Thursday 27th June at 1:30. As this will be a more active Family Learning, comfortable clothing and trainers are recommended. Please enter through the school office. We look forward to seeing you there!
Y5/6 team
Last Thursday, Learning Council was invited to be apart of the D Day service in Thorne Memorial Park. They stood and listened carefully and respectfully and then confidently stood and recited a D Day poem along with children from other primary schools from Thorne and Moorends.
It was an honour to go along and be a part of such a special occasion to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the D Day landings and I was super proud of all the children!
The children in Year 5 planned and delivered a debate linked to our book ‘Pig heart boy’. The children worked incredibly hard to prepare structured and well thought out questions and showed respect when providing their responding arguments…a fantastic effort!
This morning, Class 15 enjoyed a crew treat with a visit to the book fair. We checked out the different books on offer and were even able to read a page or two of the ones we liked best. To end our session, we shared two of the picture books as a crew read.
The book fair is still in school at the start of next week so don’t forget to pay a visit and treat yourself to some new reads!
Here are the spellings that we have been learning about this week:
Today, Year 5 enjoyed an assembly from Mick at the Royal British Legion. We learned all about the D-Day landings and why they are so important to our history, as well as finding out about the different ways in which the 80th Anniversary of D-Day will be celebrated tomorrow. Mick is Thorne’s Town Crier and he gave us a sneak preview of the important announcement that he will be making tomorrow morning at 8am to kick-start the celebrations (which will take place in Memorial Park throughout the day).
Year 5 have enjoyed a first aid workshop today, as part of our expedition focus on healthy bodies. Children learnt about how to respond if they come across an injured person or somebody who might be choking. They were also shown the correct method for chest compressions.
We hope the children never need to use any of the skills they have learned today but, if they ever do, hopefully they will be much better prepared to do so. To help children remember the information learned today, they have all taken away an information booklet alongside their certificate. Well done everyone!
