Year 5 took a trip to Haslam Park Primary school on Monday 23rd January to meet an author called Rob Lloyd Jones. Rob has a background in Egyptology and Archaeology and went on many expeditions abroad, he has said that the only thing he really found on these trips was good stories which is why he then became a writer. He talked about his new book Jake Atlas and the Tomb of the Emerald Snake – which is set in in Egypt. Year 5 had a great afternoon!

On 16th December Pikes Lane had a life skills day! 5OM took part in a Healthy Eating lesson, a disability awareness class, team building and a developing communication session!
As Year 5 have been learning about Italy we made some yummy pizzas! We used fresh foods and low fat ingedients to make our pizza healthy. On Tuesday 6th December 5OM became news reporters! The class worked collaboratively to create a TV report about a volcanic eruption in Pompeii! Here is one of the reports! This term Year 5 are learning about the Romans, Volcanoes and Italy, lots of the children in 5OM have been busy creating projects at home all to do with our theme!
Here are some of the amazing projects - we even had an exploding volcano! On Monday 17th October, 5OM took their learning outside! Mr Higgins kindly planned outdoor activities for Year 5 which involved the Romans and being effective communicators! 5OM had to work together to complete the activities, they had to use prior knowledge of the Romans, they had to be risk takers and work in a team! Throughout the morning the children developed their speaking and listening skills! By the end of the session the children really understood the importance of being effective communicators. Here are some pictures from the morning! A big thank you to Mr Higgins for organising! Year 5 are learning about Forces this term in Science!
Last week Year 5 were told about a rare and important meteorite that had landed in a remote part of Europe. The Natural History Museum recovery team are in the process of retrieving it, but they needed a remote back up team with forces expertise. Year 5 decided that they are up for the challenge! The recovery team explained that they need to parachute in to begin the process of repatriation - but which parachute is best? Year 5 created their own parachutes and tested them to help with the process! What do you think will make a good parachute and why? |
