We have enjoyed every minute of a day packed with drumming, singing, dancing, smiling and kindness - with great questions asked and instant friendship. We are so lucky to have met the Pearl of Africa Choir and share some amazing moments…
Y5 get hashtagging in reading
Year Five have been learning how to summarise a text by applying hashtags to specific parts of our text. After one lesson, we were able to recall and summarise the main points from each section - thanks to #hashtags.
Year Five sieving and filtering
Year Five have been learning about sieving and filtering as ways of separating mixtures. We used sieves, funnels, beakers and coffee filter paper whilst working scientifically in groups - deciding how best to approach our investigation.
Y5 head to Holy Island!
Y5 are having such an amazing time while at Holy Island, Lindisfarne. We've been visiting the site which the Vikings raided the peaceful monastery of St Cuthbert's and began their invasion of Britain - all the way back in 793AD.
Y5 Reading for Enjoyment
Y5 have been enjoying some reading for enjoyment - with a lovely, relaxing atmosphere and a great book.
Y5 are flying with spelling
Y5 have been flying with their learning from Friday, and we've cracked on with our first spelling unit of the year - using words with silent 'b'.
What a start from the FANTASTIC FIVES!
Year Five's Aspirations Adventure!
What a day Year Five have had! We've met so many excellent people who have shared their stories and given us insights into their careers. We've met an engineer, an IT consultant and former Delphsider, a barrister, paramedics and fire fighters - all with links to our local community.
