Celebrating international dot day by getting all creative. 

Our first lesson on subtractive drawing. 

Today we began to create our own competitive games 

We turned the classroom into a giant dictionary using words related to materials and their properties 

Some of our maths wizards have been taking part in a competition between other schools at Dowdales today. 

A gorgeous morning of pond dipping, looking at habitats and the animals which live there.

What a fantastic morning we had at Dowdales, so many exciting things to do and such a lovely class. They are very full after the break time feast and making carrot cakes

. 

A great day at St Bernard's with lots of exciting activities. 

A fabulous day at Walney Nature Reserve with a brilliant class. We didn’t spot many seals but we played in the dunes, went on a bug hunt and had a wonderful walk 

Today in English we have been investigating the surface of Mars and the impact meteorites can have on the surface of a planet. Excellent science through English. 

Today we have been working on our map reading and compass skills

Thank you to Catherine from the Wordsworth Trust who came to see year 5 and do a review of our Shakespeare play.
