Year 5 enjoyed toast Tuesday today! As part of mental health awareness week, we enjoyed our toast while completing some mindfulness tasks to help us think about how to encourage good mental health throughout our day.
In PE this week, Y5 have been practicing aiming with accuracy. We practised under and overarm throwing. We then applied this to striking to defend. We will continue to practise our cricket skills and then apply them to a game.
Year 5 had their Healthy Mind sessions with Lily today, focusing on unhelpful thoughts, and how we can change these into more positive ones. We looked at what scenarios can generate negative thoughts, and how this can have a negative impact on us. We then finished our session with some mindfulness colouring.
As part of our composition unit in music, Year 5 have been looking at identifying C major and A minor chords correctly.
In RE, Year 5 have been looking at Islam. We discussed the 99 names for Allah, so we could understand their meaning, before having a try at writing some of these names in Arabic.
In Y5 we are thinking an our relationships and strengthening them. In football we have been playing collaboratively and thinking about the role of a referee.
This week we looked at the question “What does peace be with you meaning to you?”. We were set the challenge of different ways to finding peace.
As part of Shakespeare Day, Y5 took part in a drama workshop with Kelly. We performed freeze frames to portray different scenes in the play A Midsummer Night’s Dream. We thought about the language used in the play as well as summarising the scene.
A HUGE thank you to Kelly for this amazing opportunity!
As part of our science unit, Year 5 have investigated reaction times. We had several age ranges take part in our test to measure their reaction time, and then looked to see what patterns we could establish, and which range had the speediest time!
As part of our Sow Grow and Farm topic, Year 5 have loved using our geographical skills to work out how far our food has travelled!
