Year 5 have had two fun weeks back.

In music we have begun learning to play the ukuleles. We have learnt hold to hold and strum them correctly and have identified the note of each string. Next lesson we will be learning to play chords.

In Literacy we have been looking at screen use and how much is appropriate for children. We had a special video from Mr Mark Lewis and Mrs Elson who explained their views on both the positives and negatives of the subject. We have also been fortunate to have coaches from Sharks Rugby who have been teaching us tag rugby skills.  To celebrate Earth Day, we had a live lesson about how to treat our earth right and the different ways that we could help it. We also went and looked at the different nature areas around our school. For science this half term we have started to learn about the different parts of a flower. We took some photos of different flowers and drew the male and female parts.
