During our PSHE lesson, we focused on the key skill of teamwork. We talked about the other skills that are linked to this I.e. collaboration, listening to others and negotiation. The challenge ‘build the tallest tower’ resulted in some very interesting ideas and towers! Super work year 5!

Homework and Overviews
Christmas Fair Shortbread











We had great fun this morning making the Christmas Shortbread for the Christmas Fair. We have some very talented bakers who took charge weighing the ingredients and then demonstrated the correct techniques to combine the ingredients together. The shortbread turned out beautifully and sold out within 30 minutes. Junior Great British Bake Off, here we come!

Christmas Art
Year 5 have been working incredibly hard with their Christmas art using lots of different techniques.
Athletics
Today, we practiced the many of the skills needed in preparation for the athletics competition. The children once again showed their perseverance, resilience and sportsmanship towards each other, well done year 5!
Practical Maths-Squared and Cubed Numbers
Today, we used the maths resources to help us investigate square and cube numbers. We found that once we had completed the first few, we found patterns which made it easier to complete the rest of the numbers.
