Year 5 Summer

Earth Day 2024

To mark Earth day 2024, 5 Attenborough were invited to UCL East where they had the opportunity to watch a contemporary dance piece exploring our complex relationship with plastic - highlighting the positives that plastic can bring as well as the devastating consequences plastic has on the environment.  The children then participated in a dance workshop where they were encouraged to be creative and express their thoughts and feelings about plastic through movement. This was great fun and the children really enjoyed using gestures and dance to represent their personal views on environmental issues. To conclude, the children made a pledge to the Earth to reduce plastic consumption - something in which I am sure you know 5 Attenborough feel very strongly about! 

Chapter 7 - Decimals

We have now finished our chapter on fractions and have moved on to decimals. We have been using concrete resources to represent decimals and have revisited place value. We are learning how to order decimals from smallest to greatest.

London Stadium Tour

5 Attenborough had an incredible visit to the London Stadium this week - home to West Ham United. The children went on a guided tour learning about when and why the stadium was built and found out some interesting facts about the Olympic games. Following this, we were given behind the scene access to the West Ham United players dressing room, walked through the iconic tunnel and out onto the football pitch and even got to sit in the players chairs! As you can see we had an absolute blast!

ROCKIN' MATHS DAY!

On Friday, we had an absolutely rockin' time for Maths Day. The children loved dressing up as rockstars and solving Maths riddles, challenges and even had a Maths scavenger hunt in the playground. It was really eye opening for the children to see how much Maths we actually use everyday without even realising.
