Happy Christmas dinner and Christmas jumper day from Year 5 xxx

A fab afternoon of dancing, games and the After Eight Challenge! Merry Christmas everyone xx

We have been making abstract art today 

We’ve been filming our christingle service 

We have been making Christingles this morning. The classroom smells of oranges, it's lovely 

Thank you so much to Elissa from the Dog's trust who has been talking to us today about staying dog safe. We have had a great time and got to virtually meet Mia, her dog. 

We have been making sea walls and coastal defences to explore how erosion can impact on the coast. We will be writing an explanation text about it tomorrow. 

We have been finding and calculating area around the classroom 

We have been investigating electrical conductors and insulators

A morning spent outside with water and pipes. We made tributaries, meanders, waterfalls and delta. 

We have been using clay to explore erosion on headlands and have been making stacks, stumps and arches. We are now sat quietly writing an explanation text and flow chart about the process. 

We have been investigating thermal insulators today and testing how well materials can keep food cool in a packed lunch box. Father Christmas also made a surprise appearance
