Year 5 look forward to XP outdoors every week and last Thursday was no different! They absolutely loved collecting sticks to create frames and learnt knots that would help them secure them together. Check out the fab photos below!
We had another lovely community crew meeting this week celebrating all of our successes! A huge shout out to our attendance winners our and Accelerated Reader winners this week – well done!
Another special shout out for our HoWL point winners this week who have worked hard, being kind and got smart with their learning!
Let’s not forget our Out of this World winners who have all received the yellow t-shirt for their exceptional learning this week! Absolute super stars! I wonder who will get it next week!
And finally we have our Star Readers! Here are just two of our well deserving reading stars but rest assured there were many more!
Before half term, as a crew we made a pledge that when our average reached 13 we would celebrate with a party/ice-cream treat. Last Wednesday we finally reached 13 after being ‘stuck’ on 11 for a number of weeks. Everyone enjoyed crisps, ice-cream and chill out time. It was so hot on Friday the ice-cream was definitely a welcome treat! We were too hot for party games so will save these for a cooler day!
Last week I had the pleasure of taking Y5&6 to XP to take part in the first evert XP Trust football competition. The children played some outstanding football and it was great to see everyone enjoying themselves and taking part. Well done to Y6 who were the overall winners! Our next event will be Y5&6 Rounders in a few weeks time.
This afternoon, we began our DT case study. Before we can start any practical food technology, we need to ensure we understand the importance of food hygiene and safe storing and handling. We discussed food poisoning, cross-contamination and what we can do to minimise the risk. The children went on to create anchor charts that showcased their learning.
Well done everyone for great collaboartion.
Year 5 were awesome at identifying and moving to the pulse of a rock song, imitating playing the guitar and drums.
The children were amazing as they tapped out the pulse of Livin’ On A Prayer as the class performed the song. 🥁
They also imitated playing the guitar and rocked in time to the music. 🎸
Jon Bon Jovi eat your heart out! 🎤🎶🎤🎶🎤🎶🎤
This morning in maths, it was lovely to listen to the children discussing and explaining the maths problems to each other as they worked to answer the questions.
Keep up the hard up crew!
We had a lovely community crew today celebrating lots of successes! We heard some great shoutouts and appreciations for each other and learnt who was winning the Accelerated Reader competition!
Check out some of our Star Reader’s here:
We also had lots of HoWLs point winners for the children who have worked hard, being kind and got smart this week!
Finally, we celebrated our new ‘Out of this World’ children who will receive the yellow tshirt to wear this week! Congratulations to all the winners – it is thoroughly deserved!
Year 5 were singing stars today performing the Bon Jovi classic Livin’ On A Prayer.
They then listened to the rock anthem We Will Rock You by Queen and each class agreed that the hook of the song was the famous ‘clap, clap, stomp’ rhythm. They identified the similarities and differences between the two songs and then blew me away as they recorded the various musical elements, including the pulse, rhythm and texture of both songs.
Well done my super rockstars!
Check out the fabulous Jubilee art work produced in Crew Jackson this morning, during in G-Block with Mrs Green.
I am super impressed with everyone! x
