Y5 have had a spooky spectacular day making creepy cookies and bats, writing spooky stories and playing some gruesome games!

Y5 carried out an experiment to see if they could separate a mixture of sand, salt and water. They used filtration and evaporation to see if they could separate the mixture back to its original form. 
 

For Mental Health Awareness Day Y5 learnt all about positive thinking. We made booklets to help us have a positive outlook on situations that arise. 
 

We all ran a mile today as part of a Virtual Cross-Country event. Everyone completed it and the class support was amazing! Well done everyone!

Year 5 have been busy with the activities set on Class Dojo.

Year 5 have been enjoying lots of different types of exercise during lockdown in order to keep fit and well.

Y5 enjoyed learning about mud, mountains, rocks and trees during our visit to Whinlatter. We also found out about the importance of being correctly equipped when walking up mountains and got to sample some Kendal Mint cake. We learnt that this gives us instant energy and is often eaten by people…

Y5 enjoyed creating a ‘Bedtime environment’ in order to relax and read their books. We all dressed in pyjamas, brought blankets and pillows in, had hot chocolate then snuggled down to enjoy reading. We also enjoyed reading stories to reception.

Y5 visited the library today to chose some exciting new books. They were able to say why they chose their book and enjoyed some quiet time reading them back in class.

Wasdale Mountain Rescue team visited our school this morning to tell us all bout how they save people in trouble on mountains. They showed us all the equipment they used and amazed us with their stories of rescue operations. 

Year 5 had a great week learning how to stay safe on the road on their bikes during Bikeability.
