Buzzard - YEAR 5
Meet the Team!
Star Gazing Evening
We had a wonderful evening sharing our 'Space' work with our families. They enjoyed looking through our Sciecne books, looking at all the learning we had done. We were proud to show off our Planet posters and artwork inspired by Peter Thorpe. Afterwards, we all had a hot chocolate and a biscuit and went outside to do some Star Gazing. It was a fabulous clear night so we could see loads of different constellations.
IT SNOWED!!
The School grounds looked beautiful.
ODD SOCK DAY!!
We showed our support for Anti-Bullying week by wearing our odd socks.
Dogs Trust Workshop
We had a visit from Vicki from the Dogs Trust. During our class workshop we learnt the ABC’s of being a dog’s best friend.
A Show dogs affection in ways that they understand.
B When dogs are busy give them space.
C Give dogs choice in every interaction.
S Know the signals when dogs are unhappy or in distress.
We had to go on a mission and be detectives to find the clues and decide who was Diesel, the dog's best friend. We all enjoyed the workshop and taking part in the role plays. We all made promises to be a dog's best friend.
Design Technology - Making Day
This term in Year 5 our 'Design Technology' project has been to design a snack for a Greek picnic. We have looked at and evaluated recipes and ingredients. Then the children designed their own snack that had to be suitable for a picnic. We have had a great day making their snacks and tasting them.
Welcome to Year 5
Thank you to those parents who managed to come to the 'Meet the Teacher' meeting this morning. It was lovely to meet you all. If you were unable to make it the PowerPoint that was shared is attached to this page.
The children were very excited to see you and invite you into their new classroom. They enjoyed designing their Greek vases and were proud of the end results.
