Week 5

We had a fantastic time at this year's Cultural Fest, where we dived into the vibrant traditions of the Punjabi festival of Lohri. 

We began by researching the origins and significance of Lohri, learning how it marks the end of winter and celebrates the harvest season. Our celebration was filled with hands -on fun and creativity. We made colourful kites, created themed arts and crafts, enjoyed popcorn around a symbolic bonfire, and shared our learning with other classes across the school. It was a fantastic day of cultural discovery and celebration!

Week 4:

This week we completed our sustainable cushions made from old clothes. Pupils worked hard to transform unwanted fabric into colourful, creative cushions. Throughout the project, they developed practical sewing skills and learned the importance of reusing materials to help protect the environment. 

Week 3

This week in computing we have been designing and creating our own video games using 2DIY3D on Purple Mash. Why not ask your child to show you the fantastic game they have made?

Week 2

This week, Year 5 have started practising their sewing skills, in preparation for making their very own cushions out of recycled materials.

Pupils have practised various types of stitches, even adding some embellishments, known as appliqué, to their examples. 

Week 1:

This half term, Year 5 are exploring the vibrant world of Motown in their Music lessons. As part of their learning, they are getting to know the classic hit 'Dancing In The Street'. The song is bursting with joy, rhythm and energy, and is a celebration of music and unity.

We've started learning the lyrics and practising the rhythm; its been great to sing along and move to as a class.
