Welcome to the Year 5 Blog
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.
A huge thank you to everyone for supporting the Art Gallery.
We were blown away by the quality of work and it was lovely to see and hear children’s pride in their art work. The gallery looked professional and really gave status to the children’s work and skills.
This morning, officers Glenn Hartwell and Katie Darby spoke to the children in whole school assembly about road safety. They discussed safety around the school and dangers of speed. They also introduced a competition – look out for more information in the Friday Focus….
We chose to focus on 3D shapes! The children took part in active learning to recognise the properties of 3D shapes and then made a range of 3D shapes out of mini marshmallows and matchsticks. We had a great morning and the children enjoyed listening to this rap while we worked!
This morning, Sara from the Warwickshire Wildlife Trust visited school. She ran a whole school assembly about the Sherbourne River and the role of Warwickshire Wildlife Trust. She also talked to the children about how we can make our world better for the animals around us. She then ran workshops with Y5 to look at rivers in more detail.
It was wonderful to see so many of you attending our Firework Display this week. It was a fantastic event which brought the school community together. Asher S was the lucky winner of our raffle, pressing the button to launch the fireworks.

On Monday some of the Year 5 children went to the Excel Sports Centre for a Dodgeball values tournament. The children played really well and showed good respect, honesty and teamwork. Well done to all involved!
