DT: We have been designing our very own jar labels for spaghetti bolognese!
Drop Everything and Read: Year 5 were joined by Year 3 today and had a lovely reading session!
Science Investigation: Year 5 have been investigating the properties of different materials. This week, we have all had different roles in our groups and have tested absorbency of different papers. Some groups decided to change the liquid to see if this affected the results!
Year 5 have started to explore Black History Month within their Music and Reading Fluency Lessons. In Music, the children have learnt about the Gospels and Kirk Franklin and have had opportunities to listen to a range of Gospel songs and consider their purpose. In our Reading Fluency sessions, the children have learnt about the poet Benjamin Zephaniah and worked in teams to perform his poem: 'Talking Turkeys.'
DT: This week, we have been learning all about food preparation techniques and have practised cutting fruits using the claw and bridge hold.
DT: In DT, the children have been learning where our food comes from. Through this unit, they have been investigating food packaging and the nutritional values on these. We have been so impressed with the learning that has been happening at home and with all the packaging the children have collected. We have discussed how to make healthier food choices and have adapted a spaghetti bolognese recipe to make it more nutritious!
Reading: This term, Year 5's class reading book is 'Krindlekrax' by Philip Ridley. We already have so many questions: 'Who is Krindlekrax?' 'Where did Krindlekrax come from?' 'Will Ruskin be a hero?'
