Today in Lime class we had a brilliant English lesson filled with drama. We made phone calls to each other pretending that we were astronauts going into space with the 2030 Mars manned mission. Of course we had to imagine we were 11 years into the future. Some brilliant conversation revolved around how they were feeling and their astronaut training.🌚🚀

In topic, we looked into heliocentric and geocentric theories of the universe. We took inspiration from a debate seen between Galileo and Copernicus and voted on who was the best scientist and why. We then wrote our own debates from the perspective of our chosen scientist and performed some of them to the class. 🌍🌕

Every Monday after lunch year 5s go into the hall to do fencing. We have to wear special masks ,jackets and swords.In our lessons we have learnt to fence, lunge and special fencing footsteps.In today’s lesson we played a game to test how quick you are on your feet and if you could grab the glove that people had behind them.

In maths we did multi part problem solving, we solved questions like part whole models, bar models and last but definitely not least we played strike them out a fun number game that the aim was to get your opponent out by making sure they can’t use any number combination.

Today, Lime class investigated the planets and how far away everything was in our Milky Way. They had to interpret data and recreate a scaled modal of our solar system. Did you know that if the sun was the size of a football that would make Mercury the size of a poppy seed? Well…. if you didn’t, you do now! Have a look!

Today we learnt how our moon works it was very fun and fascinating because we used OREOS! We found out that the moon didn’t disappear it is just the shadow and at we got to eat the OREOS in our groups. These are some of the names of the moon the full moon, the Gibbous moon, the crescent moon and the new moon.🌕🌖🌓🌒🌑🌘🌗🌔🙂🤯

First we put our knee and elbow pads on.Then we put on are helmets. And then we held on to our partners hand and jumped on to are skateboard. Then we held the persons hand and pushed down the playground. After that, we learnt how to push off all on our own. We learnt how to flick the skateboard. This was easy…with practice.

We had lots of fun and hope to do it again.

Well….an exciting Tuesday morning always starts with drawing on the table, doesn’t it? Some brilliant maths produced today 🙂

A brilliant surprise for Lime class! They got to take part in fencing on Monday afternoon and all showed great potential. They will be completing this as part of their P.E in term 1. Excitingly, they even get the chance to gain a qualification at the end!

What a brilliant start to the term! Lime class have settled in nicely as we explored our new class reading book, wrote our own blurbs, discussed place value and designed a picture which captured the story of Genesis.

A whole year of excitement and learning ahead 🎒📚

Today in art we finished are Harry Potter silhouettes . We styled the background to look like Vinson Van Gogh artwork. Here are 3 examples. They all turned out very well. We had loads of fun and we would love to do them again!
