  • Twos day!

    Published 25/02/22

    What was special about the date on Tuesday? That’s right, it was 22.2.22! The children marked this palindromic date by engaging in a range of challenging, collaborative mathematical tasks. In Year 5, we worked together to make the numbers up to 22 by just using four 2s.

  • Olympians in the making!

    Over the course of this half-term, the children in Year 5 have been working to master a range of balances in their PE lessons. These have included individual and partner balances. They have been focusing on showing their strength by engaging their core and holding for 5 seconds. This week, the children paired up to create a sequence of 4 balances out of the selection we have been learning. This was a mixture of individual and partner balances where the children focused on their timing and synchronisation which they then performed as part of a sequence, in groups, to the rest of the class. The children had great fun evaluating each other's routines.
