Snow Day – Year 5

Good Morning Year 5

As you will have seen, school will not be open today due the snowy conditions. Mrs Arthurs and I will be putting some activities onto Google Classroom to keep you busy today. Please try and get yourselves logged on, go to classwork and then look for the topic ‘Snowday’. Feel free to also go on TTRS, Fiction Express and start your homework, which was stuck into your home books yesterday.

If you have any issues or problems, please contact newdale.year5team@taw.org.uk

You can also use this email address to send any work you want to share with us today – especially any snow related activities you get up to today! The competition for the largest snowball starts now!

We hope you have a great day,

The Year 5 Team.

Year 5 School Closure

Dear Parents,

Thank you for your cooperation this afternoon.

At home, the children can continue to work on their homework (we have given them their homework for next week as well). They could also access TTRS and Fiction Express.

Many thanks

The Year 5 Team

CAM mechanisms

Whilst the other class were off on a Geography trip, we had a great day of DT. The children designed, created and evaluated their own space themed CAM toys. I was really impressed by their ingenious ideas and their problem solving skills to create working prototypes today. Well done 5GB!

 

Viking Cookery DT

Today the children worked incredibly sensibly to create Viking style stew and bread. They had previously designed a Viking meal and worked on chopping skills this morning. Ask your child to show off the “bridge” and the “claw” cutting techniques.

 

 

This afternoon, the children had time to taste their food and to evaluate their project. They also wrote up the recipe. There is a fantastic example below!
