We have been learning how to calculate change in numeracy and today we played a fun version of the popular game monopoly. We worked in groups of 4 and the first person to reach 50 points won. Check out our winners! We have a very competitive bunch in year 5/6 😋
Every Wednesday we go to Mrs Kane's classroom and we have great fun doing art with her.
We have been using lots of different materials to create a beautiful Autumn picture. To begin with, we talked about creating a pathway. We experimented with drawing the lines at different angles to achieve the correct look. Next we needed to draw a country house, full of lovely details such as windows and plants. Using chalks, we managed to create the look of a leafy path by smudging the colours together. Then using crayons we completed the sky and the house. By mixing autumn colours on a sponge we managed to achieve the look of autumn trees. Finally we added trees to the pathway, and their shadows using charcoal.
Take a look at our fabulous Autumn pictures, aren’t they amazing?
The boys and girls had lots of fun doing activities all week for this years ABW. We acted out various scenarios and role plays, complimented our peers, took part in a colouring in competition and wore our odd socks!

No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted ❤️
Y5/6 enjoyed this quick and effective art lesson today. We drew our squiggly lines for our ghosts with black marker then made up our own faces for them. We then used blue pencil to lightly highlight around the edges of our ghosts to create a 3D look. Don’t they look great !?
As our topic this term is ‘What’s the weather?’ We found out all about the water cycle and how rain is formed. We then went on to make our very own rain cloud in a jar. It was great fun. Check out the pictures!
This week we have enjoyed learning about the properties of 2D shapes. We made our own cartoon faces by drawing as many different shapes as we could think of. Check them out!
All the boys and girls settled in so well today and I am so proud of each and every one of them. We played some games so we could all get to know each other, had some sweet treats and played outside!
What a lovely ending to our school year! Have a look at our photos and videos to see what we got up to on our Colour Run. Each class bubble had a turn to go to the pitch and Ronan got everyone warmed up with some Zumba. Next it was time to get colourful as our lovely white t-shirts got covered in coloured powder. Our time at the pitch was finished off by making a colour cloud. Well done boys and girls on making this such a success and a huge thank you for the amazing amount of money you and your families have raised for our school-you are all superstars!!
We had so much fun at our afternoon ice cream party. We got to choose our own sauces and toppings and some of us even had seconds!
I hope these future superstars remember their Y5/6 teacher when they all become millionaires! 🤪😜
