How are lives saved?

This term, Year 5 are going to delving into Sustainable Development Goal 9- Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure with a focus on how lives can be saved through having a balanced diet and healthy lifestyle. Alongside this, we will be doing work based on the book 'Journey to Jo'burg' which is based on a true story about children living during the Apartheid. Please check our page for updates on our fabulous learning!

Words of the Week - Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure.

WOW-Class Party Article 24 Right to health 

Today we kickstarted our new enquiry with a class party. After the party, we thought about the kinds of food that we had and what would happen to our health and bodies if we ate this food all of the time. We realised that we would become unhealthy and even unwell if we had unbalanced diets all of the time so we want to lean about healthy diets so we can keep ourselves in good shape as well as saving lives of others! 

Places of Worship - Article 14: Freedom of Thought and Religion

In Week 3, we have been learning about different places of worship. We started off by discussing how to show respect in a place of worship and came up with some fantastic ideas, as shown below! We are looking forward to learning more about Sikhism and their place of worship - a Gurdwara. 

Sporting Chance - Article 31: Right to Play 

In Week 4, we have had the most wonderful opportunity of developing our jumping skills with Sporting Chance. This week we focused on our standing long jump and can’t wait for our next session!

Seasons and Crops - Article 17: Access to Information

In Week 5, we have been learning about the different seasons and which crops can be sown and harvested in each season. We have been lucky enough to sow some lettuce, coriander and basil from the allotment which we will look after until they are ready to be harvested!

Year 5’s Times Table Champion of the week in week 5!

Marshmallow Madness- Article 28 The Right to Education

Today, we were set the challenge to make towers using only marshmallow and spaghetti! We got very sticky but it helped us reflect on what made great team work!

Week 7 - Article 17 Access to Information 

In week 7 we have been reflecting on the inspirational people that our school houses are named after. We have been lucky enough to watch some of David Attenborough's ‘A Life on Our Planet’ documentary and from this we have reflected on what small changes we can make to have a big impact on saving our planet.
