May has been a busy month for Year 5!
We kicked off with BGT where Year 5 had a huge representation. After close auditions, Daniella and Ellie performed a fantastic gymnastics routine, and Florrie, Amelia, Izzy, Violet, Alice, Amelia, Evelyn, Holly, Primrose and Halle formed "The Merge" and choreographed a group dance. Unfortunately, the final trophies were just out of our reach but we are so proud of our entries.
Our visit to Rossall School for a performing arts workshop was enjoyed by all and many children were inspired by the fantastic facilities on offer at Rossall. We had a fabulous day acting, dancing, singing and playing the trumpet - perhaps we will have some future Rossall scholars...
In English, children have been creating their own adventure stories based around the book "The Girl Who Stole An Elephant" by Nizrana Farook. The story has taken us on an adventure across Sri Lanka and children are still really enjoying sharing the story with their own copy of the text.
We have combined our ICT skills with Science this half term to create videos explaining the life cycles of different animals, some examples are uploaded below for you to enjoy.
In RE, we have been learning about Judaism and hopefully in Summer 2 we will be bringing our learning to life by visiting St Anne's Synagogue...look out for information coming soon!
