Year 5 Science - Find Someone Who and Making Mixtures
Year 5 enjoyed 'finding someone who' knew about materials and states of matter for a starter activity in Science this week. We then learned about what a mixture is, before making our own mixtures according to the instructions given - it got a bit messy but it was a lot of fun!
Year 5 PSHE - Collaboration Challenge!
Year 5 learned to collaborate with some fun posing exercises in the hall, before using this skill to try to build the tallest tower out of nothing but sheets of paper and sticky tape! We are learning to work together as a team.

What Parents and Educators Need to Know about Worry and Anxiety
At times, growing up can be a stressful experience. It’s not unheard of for young people to fret about things that could potentially go wrong in their lives – and what implications this would have for their life. In some situations, this can go beyond feeling uneasy about the future and become full-blown anxiety, which affects their mental, emotional and even physical wellbeing. While worry and anxiety can originate from many different places, it's immensely important for parents and educators to understand the effect this can have on youngsters – and how best to support them if they’re going through a difficult time. This guide provides insight into the ramifications of worry and anxiety, and how you can help children manage – and hopefully overcome – these challenges.
Year 5 Nurture
In our Nurture lesson we looked at keeping safe over summer. Year 5 researched stranger danger, fire and water safety and train line safety.They made a powerpoint to show others how to keep safe.
Year 5 Skills Builder
In our skills builders lesson we used listening, speaking and teamwork skills. Year 5 had to explore three crimes: cyberbullying, vandalism and theft. We had to make notes, including the Mitigating and aggravating circumstances. Then we had to write the most important facts about the crime ready to share with the other groups, using the evidence that we found we formed arguments for and against. They talked about what argument might the prosecution or defence come up with for this point in the crime report. We had to decide on three main arguments you will make in court.
Year 5 PSHE
