Another creative week for year 5.
To provide a stimulus for our Egyptian topic, Year 5 enjoyed a virtual reality Egyptian workshop in school and explored different aspects of Ancient Egypt from the geography to the Gods to daily life. The children were so excited to take part and they really enjoyed the experience.
On Tuesday, 5SC went to Oaklands to complete their cookery DT project to make plant-based burgers and burger buns to reduce the use of meat and the impact on food waste and the environment. This also linked with their English and Geography topics. The children used scaling to work out ingredients for 2 burger buns and followed their recipe design to create their burgers. They developed numerous cookery skills and enjoyed being at Oaklands in the Food Tech department. Once cooked they assembled their burgers into their made burger boxes and tasted the finish product so they could evaluated it. They had a wonderful time creating and there were a lot of delicious burgers reviews after the tasting.
Reminders for next week:
Homework is set, please engage in TT Rockstars daily and complete the SumDog maths task online.
New class transition dates – Y5 children to meet their new year 6 teachers on Monday 3rd July in the morning and all day on Friday 7th July.
Have a lovely weekend in the sun.
The Year 5 Team
