Year 5 have had a very busy two weeks. From Sports Day to Class Assemblies and Maths Week.

The children have worked exceptionally hard all week in their learning. In Maths, they finished their MNP! books and now they are reviewing some areas they learned at the beginning of the year. In writing, the children have been writing exciting instructions on grotesque rainforest recipes. Would you like Crunchy Caterpillar Cake or Mashed Mango Pie with a side of beetle? In Humanities, the children continued their learning about the rainforest with a focus on deforestation ; the children were shocked to hear some devastating facts and were determined to do something about it. In Science, the class learned about the term Life Expectancy and we looked at what factors have changed the life expectancy of people over the years- the children concluded that better access to medicine, information about healthy diets and fitness and technology greater increases your chances of living longer.

Year 5 had a wonderful Sports Day and thoroughly enjoyed it. Everyone felt challenged and excited about the events- well done Moonstone and Onyx.

Onyx had their Class assembly- the children were beautiful singers and actors and did their class very proud. They learned their lines so well and put in such effort for the parents.

Finally, Year 5 had the excitement of The Animals of the Rainforest Workshop. Animals UK delivered a fascinating and hands on experience where the children were introduced to different rainforest animals like the ... We had some very brave children who were not afraid to handle the animals as well!
