Year 5 Weekly Blog 17.11.23- 'Everything is better in pajamas'

Another week has flown by as we edge closer to December, closer to our Nativity and closer to Christmas! We finished our week in style with our annual PJ day- in order to raise money for Brian House. The children were full of joys all day (especially having their teddies with them). We used this as a perfect opportunity to pair up with our buddy class and read to our Year 2 companions. I think their favourite part was comparing teddies though.

We continued with experimenting with forces in science, looking at forces which counteract gravity- with the focus being on air resistance. We discussed how this forces acts on a parachute when falling through the sky so the children made their own mini parachutes and dropped them to test their safety.

Let’s Celebrate

Michael for being an enthusiastic learner: Your love for learning just fills me with joy. The way you tackle every lesson, whether it is a new topic or a  continuing problem- you always do it with the right attitude. You are always open to trying new methods and learning new concepts- which gives you the best chance of succeeding.

Rose for being a creative learner: No wonder English is your favourite subject! Your creative ideas and writing are just magnificent. You really throw yourself into a story and bring out such description whatever the task is.

Faye for being a faith-filled learner: After our RHE lesson today, where we looked at the definition of what faith means- ‘having absolute trust in someone or something’- this is how I would sum you up. I know that I can trust you to always make the right choice and that you will always follow instructions.
