Class 5ZC's Blog

Hope you enjoyed this year’s blog. Please visit our new Year 5 blogs here and here!

As part of our work in literacy we’ve been creating animations of Tom’s Midnight Garden. They are very nearly finished, but we thought we’d let you have a look behind the scenes at how we’ve been making them.

We were lucky enough to get a last minute opportunity, thanks Mr C! So today we’ve been to Aston University to work with some civil engineers. We built a replica suspension bridge using the real technology.

What a brilliant way to learn…

Last week the whole school enjoyed sport week. We played football, shook our stuff along to a DVD, did some athletics, tennis not to mention our Year 5 and 6 sports day on Tuesday.

Here’s a look at Sports Day…

Boys in Y5 have mastered the technique of creating origami magic balls.

Sorry we’ve not updated the blog for a while, perhaps it’s because we’ve been so busy!

We had World Book Day last Friday and 5ZC really got into the spirit of things, dressing to impress.

We learned to do some origami

We planted some seeds…

And the seeds are beginning to germinate!

We promise to tell you more, very soon.

We celebrated the start of the World Cup in South Africa this afternoon.

We watched the opening ceremony live, started a class sweepstake, made flags of our teams and created 3D footballs.

Over the next few weeks we hope to follow the events in South Africa closely and look forward to learning more about all the countries taking part.

We hope you’ve enjoyed watching out Piano films.

The rest of the children’s films can be found on our school YouTube channel

The whole school are working on a Secret Garden project. We’re busy composing music for the project with Lisa ands Wendy from the CBSO. We were so inspired by the film of the Secret Garden we watched that we thought we’d pay tribute by writing some poems. Here are a selection….
