Montalto
The sun was shining and everyone was eager to set off early for our trip.
After a short journey, we arrived at our destination to discover we had the whole estate to ourselves (plus a few gardeners).
We headed into the woods, clipboards in hand, to do our scavenger hunt. Our aim was to identify plants and trees – mostly looking for native species but happy to learn about anything we came across.
As we travelled, we collected woodland debris and then used this to create some wonderful pieces of artwork, inspired by Arcimboldi.
Next on the agenda, the obligatory ‘games on the lawn’ and then we retired for lunch.
After lunch it was time for the main event, according to the pupils, and we were off to the long awaited adventure park. Wow, we have good reserves of energy!
An ice-cream on the way home rounded off a fantastic day.
Outdoor education is cool!

Romans
In Year 5, we have been learning about the Romans. We have written some fabulous and informative newspaper reports about the Roman invasion of Britain and letters as a Roman soldier. We have also created colourful mosaics in art. Check our our Roman shields. We learnt how Roman soldiers would train and about their battle formations.

Fire Safety
We had a visit from a local firefighter. We learnt a lot about how to stay safe at home, especially with electronics.

Year 5 have worked hard this term on our problem solving skills. We have completed a range of maths games to help us work on our adding and subtracting and also help us remember our times tables. Some great team work was occurring too! Check out some of our word problems that we have created in class.

Christmas Dinner
December is finally here and that can only mean one thing... Christmas Dinner. This year, the Christmas Dinner was brought to our classroom, even the gravy and ice-cream was carried down to Year 5.
We were all definitely in the Christmas Spirit, as some of the Year 5 boys had helped Jennifer at lunchtime put up the Christmas trees and decorate them.
After we had finished our lunch, we all received our own cracker and an early Christmas present from Rakeya! What a great start to December!

Circuit Training
This half term, we have been taking part in circuit training. We have learnt a range of skills and techniques and have challenged ourselves to beat our own personal targets. We also took part in some relay races, working on a range of skills. The races were all so close but we had a lot of fun!

Thank you to both Rakeya and Jennifer, who very kindly brought in treats for the whole class!

European Day of Languages
On Friday 24th September, we celebrated European Day of Languages. Our focus was on Italy this year.
Check out the pictures we created of the Leaning Tower of Pisa. We carefully measured out each section of the tower and then used pastels to create some beautiful backdrops. Ottimo Lavoro Y5!
A special thanks or ‘Grazie’ to Jennifer, who very kindly brought in ice cream for us! What a treat!
