Year 5 had a lovely walk to Clifton Village this week. We learnt all about out local history from Mr Bryan and were even lucky enough to walk around St Mary’s church. Year 5 really enjoyed learning about the Clifton family and their influence on the local area.
Year 5 showed great Scientific investigation skills in our observation of soluble materials. We mixed a variety of materials into water to see if it was soluble or insoluble. I was impressed at their use of scientific language and accurate measurements.
Method:
1. Measure 100ml of water into each of your beakers.
2. Add a spoonful of your material into the water and decide whether it’s soluble or insoluble.

Year 5 had a wonderful time with our visitors this week for a Maya Day. We made (and tasted) hot chocolate as the Maya would have made, investigated some artefacts, chose a Maya name and wrote it in Glyphs and rediscovered the ancient sport of Pok- a – Tok!
Our Super Science Ambassadors kick started this year’s British Science Week by leading a whole school assembly. We began with learning a little about our Science saint – At. Albert the Great, and read a prayer that previous ambassadors wrote. They shared the theme, which is ‘Adapt and Change’ and links to our own lives that we can make with science. They launched the Poster competition and all week have been running ‘The Gadget Shop’ which will continue this week, or until all stock is sold! Prices range from 50p to £2. Itemised lists with prices are posted around the school.

We have come to the end of the first block of our fractions topic in maths and what better way to celebrate than with cake? We cut the cake into equal pieces and showed equivalent fractions in our pairs. And of course we ate the cake after! 🙂
In Art we have used inspiration from Marc Chagall and our learning about World War 2 to create our own skylines of the Blitz. We used vibrant watercolours in the background then made the silhouette using oil pastels.
