We enjoyed our first Tag Rugby session with Kav. We played lots of team games involving passing the ball correctly.

Scientific Enquiry
Maple class have been exploring different types of scientific enquiry.
We had to work out what a survey is, how we classify, carry out fair tests, investigate over time, look for patterns and use secondary sources.
Friction Investigation in Science
In Science, Willow class investigated friction by measuring how far a car travels on different surfaces! They concluded that a rougher surface means that there will be more friction.
Music
Year 5 were really excited to welcome back Mrs Vincent. She taught us some new songs and music games. We really enjoyed using instruments to explore pulse and rhythm.
Welcome to Year 5
Hello and welcome to Year 5!
We are really looking forward to working with you this year and have lots of exciting things planned.
Here is an overview of what we will be learning about this term:
Here are the KIRFs (Key Instant Recall Facts) for this term.
Please do not hesitate in contacting a member of the Year 5 team if you have any questions.
Mrs Lee (Maple Class) and Mr Young (Willow Class).
Pop Lacrosse
Half of Year 5 went over to the Marsh to take part in a Pop Lacrosse fitness session.

Term 5 Overview
Term 5 KIRFs
This term in Year 5, we will be focusing on learning factor pairs.
Please make sure that you are practicing these at home as they will really help the children to build on their knowledge and understanding of number.
Welcome back to Term 4!
Welcome back to Term 4! We hope you had a fantastic half-term break!

Computing – Mars Rover
In our Computing lessons this term we have been learning all about the Mars Rover – Curiosity. We learnt how this machine is able to input, analyze and output data, sending its findings back to Earth with the use of binary code.
In this week’s lesson we learnt about the CPU and how it is a little bit like the computers brain. We learnt that computers are able to process codes (which are written in binary) and use this to follow instructions.
Then, we went outside and thought a bit more about how this works. In pairs, one of us pretended to be Curiosity while the other was the technician back on Earth. The technician had to give the rover a certain amount of code (information) at a time and then the rover had to follow it. If the rover found a problem the technician had to edit their code to help the rover.
We then learnt about giving conditional instructions and linked this back to our learning on Scratch.
