  • Designers in Year 5

    Published 27/04/24, by Andy Mari

    Since returning from Easter, Year 5 have continued our maths topics, focusing on decimals. We have been looking at rounding, adding and subtracting decimals of up to 3 digits. Next week we will be starting our new topic by looking at percentages. 

    We also started a new narrative in literacy based on the Michael Morpurgo book 'I believe in unicorns'. We have enjoyed our sentence stacking lessons based on the book and are going to be writing a similar story based on a special place of our own. 

    In Year 5 we have some talented artists! We have been looking at architecture as part of our new topic in art and have been sketching some observational drawings of houses. Take a look at some of our wonderful work!

  • Latest news in Year 5

    Published 02/04/24, by Andy Mari

    Year 5 have been busy this week with our DT topic all about structures. Our focus was on bridges.
    We looked at questions such as; which shape is the strongest for a bridge? What materials would make the best bridge? We looked at arch, beam and truss bridges. We practised the method of creating a truss bridge using spaghetti and masking tape which created quite a lot of mess
    and was a good challenge. We all agreed after that a bridge of spaghetti was not the best choice as it isn’t a suitable material for the purpose of a bridge.
    Over the last 2 days of term we have been using a number of skills and different pieces of equipment to build our very own truss bridges. We sawed our pieces of wood into the correct
    length and angles. We used glue guns to put all of our pieces together to create our final products which we will then evaluate at the start of next term.
