Year 5's Evaporation Experiment
Year 5 continued their science learning this week by following up on our evaporation experiment. After placing cups of water in different areas around the classroom last week, the children carefully observed and recorded where the most evaporation occurred. They were excited to discover patterns…
Year 5's Block Coding
Today, Year 5 used block coding to create their own mini racing games. They programmed a car to move, speed up and slow down, then tested and tweaked their code to get the timing just right. The class loved watching their cars zip across the screen as they learned how small changes in code…
Year 5 Common Factors
This morning, Year 5 were exploring common factors in an unusual way! We first worked out the factors of 2 products and then we had to find the common factors of those 2 products!
We then worked out the lowest common factor and the highest common factors!
Well done Year 5! Excellent…
Year 5 - Insulator or Conductor?
Today, Year 5 have been exploring insulators and conductors through hands-on circuit work. After recapping how a simple circuit works, the children tested a range of classroom materials by placing them into a gap in the circuit to see whether the bulb lit up. They made sure the setup stayed…
Investigating Evaporation in Year 5!
Year 5 have been busy acting like scientists this week as they set up an investigation into how water evaporates in different parts of the classroom. Together, we planned four locations and made sure the test was fair by giving each cup exactly 50ml of water and using identical cups. The…
Year 5's visit to Chester Zoo
Our Year 5 class had an amazing day at Chester Zoo! We arrived full of excitement and couldn’t wait to explore. One of the highlights was visiting the new Heart of Africa area, where we watched the meerkats scurrying around and the giraffes towering above us. The tropical butterfly house was…
Year 5's visit from Chester Zoo
This past week, our Year 5 children took part in some fantastic workshops led by Chester Zoo!
The sessions explored different animal habitats and the threats wildlife face around the world. The children were incredibly engaged throughout — asking thoughtful questions, sharing their own…
Year 5 exploring life cycles!
In Science last week, Year 5 explored the life cycles of different animals and species. We compared how creatures like frogs, butterflies, and mammals grow and change throughout their lives.
Pupils enjoyed spotting similarities and differences between life cycles and creating colourful…
Year 5 Literacy - Annie's Journey!
Year 5 travelled back in time to follow the incredible journey of Annie Edson Taylor, the first person to go over Niagara Falls in a barrel! ????
As part of our English learning, we created posters to show each stage of Annie’s daring adventure — from nervously preparing her barrel to…
Year 5 - DT - Building doodlers
In Design and Technology , Year 5 explored the world of electrical circuits. We built our own circuits with a motor.
The creating of the doodlers created several issues where the class had to use their problem solving skills to make sure the doodler moved across the paper
Year 5 Science - Separating Materials
Last Tuesday, Year 5 had Laurel from URENCO visit us. Martin gave the class a separating materials workshop.
Pupils took part in various activities. Pupils were comparing different substances and seeing how they themselves could separate materials using centrifugal force.
The class…
Place Value in Year 5
This week Year 5 have been hard at work developing their place value skills! Well done Year 5!
