Year 5 have been practising their paper skills and done some origami with Mrs Treadwell

Quietly studying maps to find rivers in the Lake District 

Dancing in the sunshine in our pyjamas for Children in Need 

We have had a great afternoon making different river systems. We made waterfalls, meanders and tributaries. 

We have been investigating how to separate materials using sieves and filters 

We have been discussing global poverty and looking at the difference between our wants and our needs. 

We have been investigating sea defences and built sea walls to try and hold back the tide. 

We have been exploring how erosion can change the shape of the coast line over time. We have made and explored caves, arches, stacks and stumps. 

We have been exploring mindfulness

We have been supporting World Mental Health Day and the Hello Yellow campaign 

We also explored how the huge Sarsen and Bluestones may have been moved. 

We have been exploring Stonehenge today and made a plan of our own henge. We then used clay and tools to create our vision in 3D
