Year 5 Science - Making a Water Filter
Year 5 are learning about separating mixtures in Science. This week we studied filtration, and learnt about how useful it is - especially on the International Space Station! We made our own water filters, and were amazed at how much mud they filtered from the muddy water!
Year 5 PSHE - Negotiation and Compromise Roleplay
Year 5 had fun in the hall acting out a roleplay aimed at understanding how to negotiate and compromise. Everyone had a go, and we all laughed a lot!
Year 5 PE - Football Skills
Year 5's PE lessons were all about the football skills of tackling and defending this week. We had lots of fun in the sunshine tackling the ball from each other!
Year 5 English - Top Trumps of Mythical Monsters!
In English, Year 5 are learning about different ancient, mythical monsters to create a character for our stories based on The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe. We used Mythical Monsters Top Trumps to help us begin to learn about these creatures!
Year 5 Science - Sieving
In Science this week, Year 5 have been learning how to separate solid mixtures using the process of sieving. We pretended to be gold prospectors and panned for gold in the soil!
Year 5 Art - Typography Using Different Materials
Year 5 are learning how to create typography in our Art lessons this term, which is the art of lettering. We used different materials like sticks, grasses, and screws and bolts to create letters, which we then sketched.
Year 5 Maths - Place Value Fun!
In our maths lessons we are learning about Place Value, up to 1,000,000. This activity shows us learning to read and write numbers up to 1,000,000 - using dice to generate 6 digit numbers, before telling our partner what the number says.
Year 5 Science - Find Someone Who and Making Mixtures
Year 5 enjoyed 'finding someone who' knew about materials and states of matter for a starter activity in Science this week. We then learned about what a mixture is, before making our own mixtures according to the instructions given - it got a bit messy but it was a lot of fun!
Year 5 PSHE - Collaboration Challenge!
Year 5 learned to collaborate with some fun posing exercises in the hall, before using this skill to try to build the tallest tower out of nothing but sheets of paper and sticky tape! We are learning to work together as a team.

What Parents and Educators Need to Know about Worry and Anxiety
At times, growing up can be a stressful experience. It’s not unheard of for young people to fret about things that could potentially go wrong in their lives – and what implications this would have for their life. In some situations, this can go beyond feeling uneasy about the future and become full-blown anxiety, which affects their mental, emotional and even physical wellbeing. While worry and anxiety can originate from many different places, it's immensely important for parents and educators to understand the effect this can have on youngsters – and how best to support them if they’re going through a difficult time. This guide provides insight into the ramifications of worry and anxiety, and how you can help children manage – and hopefully overcome – these challenges.
