This afternoon we have done a lovely art lesson where the children used colour to make season trees. They thought about what the trees would look like at each time of the year and created beautiful pictures to represent each season. I love the winter ones the best with the glittery snow! Take a look below at our wonderful work 🙂
Our new topic this half term is called Street detectives. We went on a virtual tour around Heywood using Google Earth. We looked at different places in Heywood and talked about places that are not in Heywood as well. We then worked in groups to sort pictures of different places that are ‘In Heywood’ and ‘Not in Heywood’.

Miss Lomax and Miss Steele would like all the parents and carers of the children in Juniper and Pine, to know how proud we are of them. They have made such a fantastic start to Year 5. They have worked hard, adapted to changes well and produced some amazing work. As a reward, we decided to treat the children to a surprise Birthday Party this afternoon. We know many of the children will not have Read more
As part of our topic lessons, we have learnt about which animals and insects are friends of the garden and which are foe. We then designed and made our own garden bugs. We created the shape using newspaper, then added mod rock and left to harden, before painting and adding details such as eyes and wings. We made lots of mess but had lots of fun!
We placed the biscuits and banana inside the ziplock bag, this represented eating. Added tablespoon of water-the saliva. We then crunched the food up inside the bag-chewing. Then mimicked the action of the stomach by adding acid-the orange juice. We discussed how the mixture moving over to the small intestine. We the squeezed the food down to the bottom so it imitated the small intestine becoming the large intestine, or colon. We then squeezed the Read more
This week we have been making and erupting volcanoes. We created a volcano using paper mache, painted them and investigated which mixture would create the best eruption. Here are some pictures of our week.
This afternoon, Year 5 enjoyed learning about pollination. We carried out a practical activity demonstrating how insects, such as bees, pollinate flowers using cheese puffs! After this, we created some fabulous work showing how pollination happens.
We worked hard to follow the directions on the treasure map. We had to follow directional language like forwards, backwards, left and right.
Following on from our planning last week, Maple have been writing their own stories about children who eat strange things. There were some fantastically written stories with excellent use of vocabulary and beautiful handwriting. From children who ate lego and became amazing builders, to children who ate clothes and became world-famous fashion designers, the children really have tried so hard with these stories. See below for a couple of examples of their work. I
