St Paul 'sYear 5
Welcome to Year 5 
Ms L Lawrence (Y5 teacher)
Mrs D White (PPA teacher- Monday PM)
Mrs N Dunstone (LSA)
In Year Five, the children enjoy learning in a variety of ways through a richly creative, broad and balanced curriculum. We use cross curricular learning themes in which subjects overlap to reinforce and compliment each other. We aim to develop knowledge, concepts, skills, dispositions and attitudes necessary for the child's whole development. We embrace 'Learning Without Limits' where children are not put into 'boxes' but are given the chance to surprise us - and themselves - about what they can achieve.

School closure information
I have started a blog on padlet - this is for the children to use to show me some of the learning they have been doing during school closure - this could be based on what I have set or could be anything else they think is relevant. I have to approve posts before they go on so if they aren't relevant they won't make it on there!
Please use the following link to access our page https://padlet.com/Mslawrence/year5 (fingers crossed this works - if not please let me know via the class e-mail and I will try my best to sort it out email: y5@worleburyprimary.com

Hello Year 5,
I hope you have all had a lovely week and have enjoyed all of the sunshine.
It was lovely to see some of you at our zoom check in on Monday. Remember to join us if you can on a Monday at 3.30pm. The link was sent by parentmail at the beginning of this term but if you need a reminder please email me using the class email address y5@worleburyprimary.com. Mr Gill would like you to bring along some playdough if you can and a safe item to decorate your playdough with (such as plastic cutlery). A piece of paper to draw on is fine if you don't have any playdough.
I am really enjoying seeing and hearing about your work and about all the other interesting things you have been doing. It's fantastic to see that some of you have started to use Numbots this week. This is a great resource for practising your mental arithmetic. Lots of you are also continuing to use TTRockstars to practise your times tables. Well done. I am so impressed by how many sessions some of you are managing to complete.
Have a brilliant week.

Parents - if you could e-mail me to let me know how many times your child has read each week (I'll accumulate housepoints for them) and test them on their spellings on a Friday and let me know how they got on that would be really helpful.
Term 4
Welcome back. We will be continuing our Ancient Maya Civilisation learning theme this term, with a focus on the food they ate. We will also be learning about rainforests and the effects of deforestation.
We had lots of fun making tortillas using polenta - which is made from corn - a very important ingredient during the Maya times. We also tried Maya inspired hot chocolate - this had the additional ingredients of chilli and cinnamon just like the Maya people would have had. Lots of us were surprised by how tasty it actually was.
Term 3
Welcome back. I hope everyone had a lovely Christmas and you are all ready to start the new year and new learning theme.
In terms 3 and 4 we will be learning about the Ancient Maya Civilisation, this will involve learning about where they lived, when they lived and how they lived. This links nicely with our DT project in term 4 where we will be looking at Maya inspired food and recipes. Towards the end of term (date to be confirmed) parents will then be invited in to share some of the food we have prepared. If you are keen on cooking and would like to come in and help with this please let me know - extra adults are always welcome!
We have enjoyed learning about where the Ancient Maya people lived and researching some of these countries. We have also enjoyed using clay to recreate Maya artefacts and made a clay tile using glyphs to create our name/personality. We also particularly enjoyed creating Maya masks and learnt that the Maya people wore masks for three different reasons - death masks, battle masks and festival masks. Can you guess which ones are which? (Photos to follow)
Term 2
Welcome back. We will be continuing with our 'Victorians' learning theme this term leading up to celebrating a Victorian Christmas on 17th December 2pm (further details to follow) when we would like to invite parents in to share our learning.
I have told the children that Tyntesfield put on a fantastic display of a traditional Victorian Christmas and suggested it might be lovely to visit if possible. I have also heard the SS Great Britain are also putting on a Victorian Christmas theme too which I am hoping to go to myself so if you are looking for things to do with your children I'm sure they would enjoy either of these events.
We finished our Victorian theme with a lovely afternoon sharing our learning with parents and grandparents. The children enjoyed sharing one aspect of their learning through a PowerPoint slide and we were lucky to have some very talented children displaying their musical skills - playing and singing traditional carols and, although not quite Victorian, a brilliant rap about the Victorians. The children also made mince pies and Christmas cakes to share with their parents.
Welcome Back
Welcome back to school and to Year Five. I hope you have enjoyed a fantastic summer holidays and are ready and raring to go! Our learning theme this term is 'The Victorians', where we will be exploring different aspects of Victorian life. As part of this, we will be having a Victorian WOW day where we will explore what life was like for a Victorian child. We will also be visiting Tyntesfield House (further information to follow), where the children will have the opportunity to contrast the lives of rich vs poor as part of our trip. Please see the green Curriculum Information box below for more information on our learning project.
If you have any quick questions please feel free to pop in and see me either before or after school, or for a longer chat please feel free to make an appointment with me - if you can't get into school easily, then please communicate via your child's communication book and I will get back to you.
Our First Week Back
Apologies for my misunderstanding with regards to pencil cases - I will provide all children with pencil cases and the items they need for lessons.
Our focus this week, as well as getting to know each other, is based on one picture - we have looked at a picture by Alexander Janssen and will be using this as a basis for writing descriptions, creating our own creatures and including our creatures in a story. Each class will then get together with the rest of the school and share their learning at the end of the week.
Our Victorian school WOW day
We started our Victorian WOW day standing outside in a silent, straight line before being allowed in to class. The girls and boys were separated and we stood behind our desks until we were told we were allowed to sit. We practised writing our names on chalkboards before going to worship. After worship, we sang the National Anthem and recited the Lord’s prayer.
Next the girls practised their sewing skills preparing them for their futures looking after their homes and families, whilst the boys practised their technical drawing skills ready for potential work in the future.
After break, where we played hopscotch and football, we did some Arithmetic – practising our times tables and learning about our coins and their value.
After lunch we did ‘drill’ lined up in rows following the teachers instructions – all having to keep in time. Then we practised our handwriting in our copybooks.
There were some threats of the cane, but no-one was quite naughty enough for it to be used!! However, many children wanted to wear the dunce’s hat (although not all were happy to have their photos taken) and some children were punished with writing lines and standing with their hands on their heads.
The children participated amazingly and we’ve had a fabulous day. Thank you for all the effort with costumes. More photos to follow.
*update - photos are now on!
Year 5 go caving
Year 5 had the opportunity to experience caving this week and had a very enjoyable time. There were lots of excited children on their return to school, all wanting to tell me their experiences. It sounded like I missed out on a fantastic experience. Thank you to Mr Mackie, Mrs Bamford and Mrs Ely for accompanying my class on their adventure. there weren't many opportunities for photos as the cave was a little dark!!
Tyntesfield
Year 5 had a very enjoyable and educational trip to Tyntesfield where they had the opportunity to learn more about Victorian life by handling Victorian artefacts, visiting rooms that are not normally open to the public and practising Victorian handwriting.
