Welcome to Year 5!

Keep checking this page throughout the year for updates on our learning journey. 

You'd butter believe it! This week, as part of our Design and Technology (DT) curriculum, the children have been busy designing and baking their own scones.

Yesterday, the children had the chance to mix and bake their creations. This hands-on activity allowed them to explore different techniques and understand the process of creating a recipe from scratch.

Today, the class thoroughly enjoyed doing a "taste-test" to evaluate their scones. They discussed the flavours, textures, and overall success of their designs, using their observations to reflect on what worked well and how they might improve their recipes in the future. It’s been a fun and delicious way for the children to apply their DT skills!

Year 5 Residential to Crosby Hall (CHET) - September/October 2024

2/10/24 - The children woke up after a second good night's sleep. After a hearty breakfast, they enjoyed a morning of activities on the outdoor adventure course and all had a chance to zoom down the zip wire (even the teachers had a go too!). After a final day's lunch we said our goodbyes and headed back to school. An adventurous time was had by all!

1/10/24 - The children have enjoyed a second full-packed day of activities. Last night, the children enjoyed an evening of craft and settled down with a movie night before bed. Today they were thrilled to enjoy archery and some outdoor activities such as climbing, abseiling and shelter building.

The children have behaved brilliantly and shown excellent team work, encouraging each other and being brave when faced with challenges.

30/9/24 - We have safely arrived at CHET! The children have settled into their rooms, made their beds and met the staff who will be guiding us through the activities over the next few days.

Science Lessons

This term, the children are learning about mixtures and separation. In one lesson they have been striking gold—literally!

The children have been learning all about mixtures and this week the focus was 'methods of separation'. They enjoyed a hands-on activity that explored the process of sieving soil in search of "gold nuggets."
The children also considered how different materials can be separated based on the size and properties of their particles.
