Welcome to the Year 5 Blog
During our Mayan’s and Mexico topic, Year 5 have been busy creating these incredible Day of the Dead masks. The children completed research into existing mask designs and the Mexican festival. They then created papier mache masks and decorated them using paint and tissue paper flowers.
On Wednesday 24th April, a group of nine year 5 and 6 children attended the Coventry HADO Arena to take part in some friendly, fun competition. We split into 3 teams of 3 and competed against ourselves and 4 other schools.
In the initial heats, Coundon came 1st in two of their games and 2nd in another. Two of our teams then moved into the semi-finals and finals coming joint 1st place with Aldermoor Farm and 2nd place.
Whilst there, we discovered that we had a pro in our presence! Isla, in year 6, made 62 shots during one game, which they said they’ve only ever seen twice!
Year 5 shared their special assembly with parents about Eid. Well done Year 5 for sharing your information, artwork and even a special prayer as part of the assembly (written by the children themselves).
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.
