Our trip to Selby High School

Yesterday, we were lucky enough to be invited to Selby High School. We spent the day experiencing what it is like in High School and were given the opportunity to take part in Science, Drama and Dance lessons.

Take a look at our pictures and see what you think. Can you guess what we made in Science?

Harry loved the experiments!

We were making something that you can put in water and smells nice...

We used our maths skills when measuring

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:

Here are some posters we designed with each stage on.
