Year 5 Learning
Academic Year 2024-2025
In the spring, as part of our science unit on animal and plant life cycles, we dissected a flower to study its anatomy
We thoroughly enjoyed reading quietly for an hour and a half during our sponsored quiet reading morning!
As part of our Ancient Egypt topic, we visited the Fitzwilliam Museum, where an expert teacher guided us, and we had the opportunity to create sketches.
As part of our healthy school ethos, we participated in a fun workshop about healthy smoothies. Instead of using electricity, we rode a bike to generate the energy needed to blend the fruit. It was an exciting experience, and the smoothies were absolutely delicious!
As part of our Ancient Egypt topic, we mummified real tomatoes to recreate the process of mummification, just as the Ancient Egyptians did to preserve bodies after death.
We enjoyed 45 minutes of quiet time to support our well-being. With a variety of activities to choose from, some of us especially loved working on a puzzle in peaceful silence.
