YEAR 5 (WILLOW)

Teachers:  Mr Marshall
SEN & DSP
Welcome to Willow class page.
​
In Year 5, we aim to build on previous learning while securing fundamental skills ready for Year 6. This year, children are growing in maturity and are given greater independence in their learning, enabling them to grow in confidence. We also offer Maths Booster sessions after school, enabling children to push their thinking while consolidating previous years learning.
Children are given more responsibility with their own learning, for example having more opportunity to discuss and debate their own ideas. Furthermore, we have a wide range of activities, such as our Volcano WOW day to inspire the children and enable them to learn in a range of creative ways. In our lessons, children will work in a range of ways from debates to acting, from building 3D shapes in Maths to explaining their ideas and opinions in History and using our outside space for Science.

Cambridge Science Centre Trip - October 2022

​At the end of the Autumn half term, Year 5 visited the Cambridge Science Centre where they learnt all about space, their topic in science. They had a presentation about living and working in space, thinking about things like friction, gravity, food and even the toilet! Then, they had time to investigate other areas of Year 5 science in hands-on exhibits, including forces, air resistance and even DNA.

WOW Day - Aztec Chocolate Making

​As part of their history topic studying the Aztec period, Year Five investigated the history of chocolate. They discovered that chocolate was invented by the Maya, who were in turn invaded by the Aztecs, who were then conquered by the Spanish, who spread it across the world! They created their own chocolate, designed their own chocolate bar, as well as tasted a range of chocolates.
