Investigating air resistance this week required good teamwork in Class 13. The children had to make sure their parachutes were identical with only one variable changed, in order to conduct a fair test.

Class 13 were very busy this afternoon finishing their teddy templates and pinning them to their chosen fabric. Where else would you find a pangolin, a mer-wolf and a couple of bears in the same room?!

Wow! We are amazed by the creative bookmark designs in Class 13. The children enjoyed teaching each other different types of stitches and sharing their skills when they mastered a new one. Well done, year 5!

The children in class 13 have done some exceptional embroidery this week. They would have made brilliant textile workers in the Victorian era! We can't wait to see their finished bookmarks.

Year 5 were very proud to see their illustrations of 'The Adventurous Salmon' (a rhyming book telling the story of the salmon's unusual life cycle) published by Eden Rivers Trust. What amazing artists!

We had a visit from GIST on Thursday 22nd November, who helped us learn about road safety. Did you know it takes 25 metres for a lorry to come to a complete stop if it is travelling at 30 mph?

Class 13 enjoyed using multi-link to investigate square and cube numbers in Maths. The children worked out that it takes 64 cubes of multi-link to build a cube that is 4 by 4 by 4.

We are very impressed with the improvement in times table fluency in Year 5. The children (and staff) are very enthusiastic about Times Table Rockstars. Here are the very close results from this week's 'battle of the bands.' Well done Class 12!

Class 13 have been enjoying learning to play a brass instrument every Thursday morning. So far, the children have mastered how to make their baritones, trumpets and trombones make long and short notes in time to music.

The scores are very close on Times Table Rockstars between Class 12 and Class 13 this week! Keep up the great multiplication work year 5!
