Welcome to the Year 5 Blog
In Year 5 we have been celebrating British Science Week.
Year 5 had a fantastic day yesterday celebrating Mexico Day.
This week, Year 5 experienced the next best thing to travelling to the Ancient Maya destination of Mexico. The pupils enjoyed exploring key historic sites in Mayan History – it was a brilliant way to explore Mayan history!
It was a wonderful experience for pupils, parents and carers from year three to year six to hold Coundon’s Christmas Carol Concert at Coventry Cathedral. The choir were a credit to the school singing beautifully at the front, with a beautiful duet from Ruby and Eva – all brought together with pupil’s readings and a tableau of the first Christmas.
Year 5 have completed their D and T projects on Bridges – here are the final designs and creations for Dr R. Nile who set us the task. We even tested them over a tray of water – there were some casualties when tested with heavy weights.
Year 5 were fortunate to have a professional computer programmer come in this afternoon to teach us all about game design. Mr Brady (Luca’s Dad) talked to us about the skills involved in game design and then we had a go at designing our own games.
In Science, we have been learning about our solar system. This week we learnt about the distances between the sun and the planets using toilet roll to create a scale model. We had a great time!
