We have been invited to attend the dress rehearsal of Little Shop of Horrors at Chatham and Clarendon Grammar School on the morning of 5th February. We will be walking to the school after registration. Children will need to bring a packed lunch in with them and we will be back before the end of the school day.
This week we have been learning the days of the week, why not practice the vocabulary at home?
Lundi, Mardi, Mecredi, Jeudi, Vendredi, Samedi, Dimanche
Every term we have a fabulous performer come along for our 'Live at RAPS' assemblies. We were lucky enough this term to get a visit from the talented Bill Lowdell and his guitar 'Sticky'. Lots of fun was had by all as we joined in and sang along to some favourite tunes.
As part of our learning about materials we conducted an experiment to find out which materials melted the most quickly. We discovered that margarine had the lowest melting point, which a lot of the class predicted. All that hot buttered toast obviously has scientific value!
The first half of the term we are looking at how different materials have different properties and how these properties make them suitable for different purposes. The picture shows some of the vocabulary we will be using, some words might well crop up in our spellings... You have been warned!
This term our topic is science based. We took our inspiration from the work of Jackson Pollock and created 'forces pictures' using blowing and splatter techniques. Messy, but lots of fun!
This week we are looking at spellings with the 'ei' letter string.
Welcome back Year 5! WE started the new term with Philosophy and have been exploring different acts of worship in the Jewish faith.
