Y5 became mathematicians today just like our mover/shaker Fibonacci! We solved, explained and reasoned our way through different problems that centred around the thinking of Fibonacci as we celebrated the International Day of Mathematics. Fab work, Y5! ➕➖✖️➗
Yesterday, KS2 Lego Club had a fantastic time taking part in the Lego League Challenge Competition! We worked on our coding skills, on our motorised robot and presented our innovate project to a range of judges. It was all about creating a marine app to support marine biologists and their research! We were super lucky and won a trophy for our amazing innovative research!
As part of our character education, Year 5 explored how ‘Jesus was innovative’ using our own creativity to think outside the box and complete the following task. This is NOT Earth….
Year 5 enjoyed a trip to Jarrow library where they channeled their inner ‘zen zones’ and explored the great range of books on offer. Some of us chose topic themed books in preparation for our summer learning, all about the Ancient Greeks.
Year 5 practised their oracy skills in Spanish today! They spoke about where buildings were in their city and used pause words to help with their fluency.
Year 5 had a fab afternoon for Time to Talk day. We invited our parents and carers to taste test the soup we had produced, and then we wowed them with our presentations to promote our product! We delivered our pitches, thinking about our oracy skills, ensuring we projected our voices and spoke clearly. Our adults then evaluated our pitches, making sure we had included all of the relevant information.
And it’s cooking! Y5 sautéed the onions and spring onions before adding the other ingredients and the stock. Excited to eat the seasons!
As part of our DT topic, Eat the Seasons, Year 5 have been taste testing some seasonal produce ahead of making our final dish. We looked at beetroot, kale, rhubarb, kale and cabbage, thinking about their appearance, texture and taste. We then rated which ones were our favourites!
As part of our ongoing link with Karbon Homes and Able Construction, some of our Year 5 children took part in a community project at their Hebburn site today.
We were invited to the site on Hedgeley Road to help with some planting in the communal garden. The children were amazing ambassadors for our school, and posed for lots of PR snaps and interviewed like pros!
Thanks so much Karbon Homes and Able Construction for having us!
On Friday, Year 5 did music, and played ‘Twinkle Twinkle Little Star’ on the xylophone. They enjoyed learning the musical notes, presenting it to the class, and most of all, making lots of noise!
