On Monday Year 5’s cricket tournament was unfortunately cancelled due to the rain. But we still managed to make the most of our day, and Mr Barron organised lots of fun cricket games that we could do inside. The whole class were so resilient and upbeat despite the disappointment of their trip being cancelled, well done Year 5!
Year 5 have had a great day celebrating our Miles Away Tuesday. Our country was Sweden. We have looked at geographical features of Sweden, we have looked at the ABBA pop song ‘Thank you for the music’ and learnt about a famous Swedish ambassador Greta Thunberg. We even tried some Swedish biscuits and Swedish meatballs!
Yesterday, Year 5 completed the ‘make’ section of their food and nutrition week. Their design brief stated that they must make a “healthy and sustainable meal”. A green smoothie, spring green frittata and meringue with fruit was made and consumed by all – Year 5 don’t do things by halves! The Year 5 staff are super impressed with the children’s!
Year 5 have had a brilliant day with their Bede Burn pen pals! We spent the morning at Bede Burn school, getting to know each other and then completing some maths challenges set by Mr Usher. We then spent the afternoon back at St Oswalds where we competed an orienteering trial. We can’t wait for our next collaboration day already!
In Year 5, for our Viking topic, we have been making our Viking longships. We have designed and made our ships with the purpose of them being able to float on water whilst also incorporating some Viking features.
Year 5 and 6 took part in playing some after school friendlies this week against Toner Avenue. We all had a fantastic time and enjoyed playing for fun and building our confidence in matches 
We can’t wait to have them back in Summer term!
Year 5 loved their time going around the stations during prayer space day today. We have learned so much about ‘the stations of the cross’ and it’s all down to our Year 6s who have spent their time preparing the stations. Thank you so much Year 6!
Today, Year 5 have been learning about friction. We discussed the effects of friction, how useful it is and the opposite reactions that occur alongside this force. To test our knowledge we have been measuring the effects of friction upon different objects across a range of surfaces. Year 5 love practical lessons!
Year 5 have had a great morning for Comic Relief! We decorated cupcakes to raise money and we completed a quiz on the history of Comic Relief.
