Year 5/6 @ Brookburn

Wow what a fantastic week we had. The children were absolutely wonderful so well mannered, you made me very proud! Visit the Year 6 blog for our Ghyll Head pictures.

This week Year 6 have been at Ghyll Head away from the Year 5′s. We hope the assembly is going well Year 5, we’ve been thinking about you.

What have you been up to this week either at home or away?

This week we had our first of three Virtual Competition Days, we set up the stations and invited years 1-6 to come and take part in the competition. The classes were split into eight different groups and the points were added up to find an overall winner for the class and then we added up all the groups points to find an overall winner for the school. Well done to all the children who took part, we hope you enjoyed yourselves!

It was really close between all the groups but the winners were:

3rd Place: Group 5
2nd Place: Group 3
1st Place: Group 6

All the local schools also held a Virtual Competition this week and we’ll find out which school got the most number of points after half term.

Well done everyone.

Catrin’s dad came into school last week to make some spectroscopes with us. It was great fun, we thoroughly enjoyed looking at the light and seeing the breakdown of colours.

For World Book Week and part of our Literacy topic on persuasive writing we wrote book leaflets to try to persuade readers to read our favourite book. Here are a few pages from the leaflets.

I’m so proud of all the year 5′s, what an excellent job they did writing persuasive leaflets, posters and getting their stall ready for Sports Relief. Well done everyone, a fun day was had by all. Here are some pictures to remind us of the day.

What was your favourite part of the day?

This is the same game as Layyah’s. You can only ask questions with a yes or no answer. I’ll give you hint – it’s an animal. The winner gets to write their own blog titled ‘What am I thinking?’
