During the last couple of weeks, Year 5 have been working hard on perimeter and area. To help us remember how to calculate perimeter, and to remember the difference between perimeter and area, we learnt a song about Peri the snail.
For our new Design and technology unit we are learning all about healthy eating. This week we looked at hidden sugars in drinks. We had to guess how many teaspoons of sugar were in Coke, Diet Coke, a Smoothie and Strawberry water. We were really surprised that there are 9 teaspoons of sugar in one can of coke!

We watched an assembly explaining what bullying is and we made a pledge to stop bullying. On a hand we wrote 5 people we feel we could speak to if we feel like we are being bullied. On Friday we all looked fantastic in our pyjamas or Pudsey outfits.
