Our Learning Journey in Year 5
On this page we will share our learning and the all the great things we get up to in Year Five. Come with us on our learning journey!
Safety Central
As part of school's week on Health and Safety, in January we visited Safety Central in Lymm where we spent the whole day learning about lots of different ways in which we can keep ourselves and others safe. It was a great day and we really enjoyed it, check out some of the photographs we took below.
St Bridget's Day
Thursday 1st February was St Bridget's Day. We celebrated by going to Mass in the morning and completing some activities on St Bridget in class. Have a look at some of our work below!
Multiplication Masterminds!
During our learning on written multiplication, some children had a go at solving the problem of a column multiplication question with nearly all it's digits missing!
Congratulations to Leila and Korey who worked together to solve the puzzle and place all the digits in the correct place!

Mayan Masks
This week we have been researching The Day of the Dead, and we have had a go at designing our own Mayan style masks!




Greater Depth Maths Workshop
Also this week, some of Year 5 took part in a maths workshop all about Ratio. As well as pupils from St Bridget's, the workshop was attended by children from other schools. Some of the challenges were quite tricky but everyone had fun trying to solve them. Check out the photos below!





This week we are taking part in Rock Kidz sessions in preparation for the Rock Kidz Concert on Thursday 15th February. What a way to start the week!



World Book Day 2018

We began our World Book Day celebrations with a visit from Curtis Jobling, the author of Frankenstein's Cat and the Wereworld Series. Curtis spoke to us about his job as a famous author and how he writes his books.
We have had a great World Book Day! We enjoyed seeing everybody's favourite colour costumes and started the day with an assembly that taught us how all colours are equally important, just like us!
