Flying High and Hitting the High Notes Too!

Yet another week of Y5 astounding us, this time with their hidden talents!  Our work was based around the book "Somebody Swallowed Stanley", which inspired us to think about the impact of plastic pollution and recycling.

The writing task this week was to create a poem, rap or song about the environment, focusing on plastic pollution.  The work really blew us away and put tears of pride in our eyes yet again!

Of course, all this writing needed research to get there!

In Design and Technology, Y5 designed and made kites!  I think most of them are waiting for a good windy day when they can fly them (following social distancing rules, obviously).

​Y5 have been loving using Mr Crossley's PE videos on YouTube, plus adding a few ideas of their own!

There was super problem solving work in maths...

...and comprehension in reading!

Finally, our optional tasks were really popular this week - children designed posters and reusable shopping bags, and created stunning art out of rubbish!
