Allez Yorkshire!

 Our new topic next term is...

Allez Yorkshire!
(Go Yorkshire!)

The Tangfastics have the opportunity over Easter to work on their own project in their homework books. This can range from; writing a fact file about Tour de France, creating a poster with any information or a piece of art work.


You can read all about Tour De France and learn a bit more France on the links below:

 I am really excited to see what you all choose to do for your project!

Just a quick reminder: Over Easter there is an exciting class reading challenge on Sumdog! You can play fun games against your classmates, answering a set number of questions, to earn prizes. For 1^st, 2^nd and 3^rd place there will be a special class prize awarded during the first week back after Easter. It’s also really important they everybody keeps reading at home as much as they can.

Jesus Light of the world

Yesterday Year 5 began thinking about how they could represent "Jesus light of the world" using this picture to inspire them.

Everybody worked so hard, sketching their ideas.

Here are some pictures of Year 5, creatively thinking about how to use glass jars.

 

 Here are our finished jars:

Sports Relief Fundraising!

What a busy week we had last week! We had great fun on Thursday 20th March raising money for Sports Relief. For two weeks beforehand we designed and created our own sports activities. These ranged from: an extreme obstacle course, football and hockey shooting, dribbling for basketball, to balancing a ball on a tennis racket.

Each class was invited to come and play our games for a small donation of 5-10p per a game.

We had a great time and altogether managed to raise a total of £72.28


Everybody from Year 5 should be very proud of themselves for raising an amazing amount!

Here's some photos:

Seed Dispersal

Today we learnt all about seed dispersal. This is when seeds are spread in different ways, to continue the life cycle of plants. 
Here are some posters we designed with each stage on.

World book day!

Yesterday Year 5 had great fun dressing up for world book day. Can you guess what we dressed up as?

We also made origami monster bookmarks!  

This way we don't lose our page!

Times tables!

In numeracy we have recently been learning efficient methods for all four operations! For multiplication and division it is really important that we are confident with our times tables, otherwise this slows us down. There are lots of ways we can learn our tables, below are a few links which you can use to play games on:

Our Space Centre Trip!

Today we had an amazing trip to The Space Centre in Leicester. We loved being able to explore all the different things to do with space. We even got to go into a Planetarium to watch a short film which was really funny! Here are some pictures of us having a great time:
