Year Group Focus - Year 5
Fri 24 Jan 2025In art this week, year 5 were looking at using their origami skills to create a piece centered on rotational symmetry. The children really enjoyed practicing their fine motor skills, folding each paper square with precision and care. They especially enjoyed spinning their final artworks to see the magic of the colours swirl together!
In science, we were looking into levers and pulleys, investigating if the position of the fulcrum (the balancing point of our levers) affected the force we needed to exert to lift the heavy objects. The children are really enjoying these more hands-on science lessons, becoming mini scientists for an afternoon and testing their own hypotheses.
This week, year 5 also completed their final draft for their narrative of our class novel 'The London Eye Mystery'. Both class teachers were immensely impressed with the quality of work produced by the children, so much so that our star writers' washing lines were full to the brim with outstanding writing! Well done year 5!
In computing, we have started our new topic working with Crumble kits. This week, we learned how to correctly connect our crumble to a sparkle and to a computer before transferring over a program which allowed us to change the colour of the sparkle! It was quite fiddly to begin with, but both classes really enjoyed working together to solve any problems and we all managed to change our sparkles to some very funky colours!

Parent Page
Fri 24 Jan 2025Promoting language and school readiness in your child
· Read to your child daily from being a baby. Choose a quiet time, turn off the television and music and put your phone away.
· Use exaggerated voices and facial expressions to help maintain your child’s interest when reading books.
· Point to pictures in books and describe what you see.
· Re read favourite books many times and encourage your child to read alongside you.
· Reading at bedtime helps support calm bedtime routines.
· Praise all attempts at language or reading, even turning pages and handling books well are behaviours that should be praised in young children.
· Describe what your child is doing rather than asking questions when you are playing with your child. Use positional language, count, describe colours etc.
· Notice when your child is being calm, working hard, concentrating well, staying patient or sharing and reward this with positive attention i.e. “I am really proud of how patient you are being, well done”.
· Look at what your child is interested in and talk about their interests with them.
· Praise and reward all attempts at independent self care i.e toileting, dressing, washing, eating etc. this will help your child settle in to school confidently.
