Y5 get cracking with maths!
Year 5 have been cracking on from the word 'GO' this week - working hard on their maths. Position & Direction, drawing 2D shapes and plotting co-ordinates. A superb start to the year! #embrace #wemakethedifference
Y5 visit Edge Hill University!
Y5 had a great day visiting Edge Hill University and taking part in geography fieldwork around the campus! We also had a guided tour and saw many of the different buildings and areas of study that the university offer. A great addition to our Aspirations Weeks! #enjoy #embrace #evolve…
Y5 lifecycles
Y5 have been enjoying their learning on lifecycles in science. We have learnt about amphibians, insects and mammals – comparing them and finding similarities and differences. We also learnt about metamorphosis and how dragonflies experience ‘incomplete metamorphosis’. #evolve…
Y5 become Amazon tribespeople!
What a fantastic day Y5 have had 'in the Amazon' on their Amazon simulation experience. We gathered water from our local well, made a filter using stones, led our tribe across the river and even fought our case in court against the sinister logging corporation. #enjoy #embrace #evolve…
Y5 tackle angles and measures
Y5 have been using their angles knowledge and measuring skills to discover which shapes are regular and irregular. #evolve #wemakethedifference
Y5 learn to use protractors!
Y5 made great progress today, by learning how to place and orientate a protractor to measure angles.
Y5 geography
Y5 have been studying the countries of South America and locating countries which are occupied by rainforest land.
Y5 use microbits!
Y5 LOVED their latest computing topic on programming physical devices! We used Microbits to download our code onto and manipulate how the microbit works to physically respond to our on-screen coding. A memorable lesson for sure! #enjoy #wemakethedifference
Y5 Science
Y5 have been studying the human lifecycle and how we can find trends in data. We used height data for males and females to complete line graphs which show general patterns of males being taller.
Y5 Study the human lifecycle
We have been studying the key phases within the human lifecycle, from foetus to elderly adult - and what changes are typical within each phase.
Y5 visit the Runway Visitor Park
Y5 have had a blast at Runway Visitor Park at Manchester Airport. We've been on a DC-10, walked underneath Concorde and had a guided tour of Terminal 2. What a great day using our learning about gravity, air resistance and friction. #enjoy #wemakethedifference
Y5 Comprehension
Y5 have been organising a text and summarising paragraphs by matching them to the correct subheadings.
