Kestrels have had a fabulous time completing their Music topic this term. They practised some repetitions of crochets and quavers and then composed their own music and performed it within the classroom. It’s been lovely to see them being so creative, take a look at a very brief video showing the children’s talents.

Respecting Boundaries
The topic in year 5 this term is Respecting Boundaries and the class discussed how important it is to be aware of their own personal space. They did a little activity where they
had to stand opposite each other, which as you can see, clearly demonstrates their understanding.
Drama in English
Year 5 have been using their drama skills this week; acting out a conversation between the main 2 characters in their novel…Oranges in no-man’s land. They had a lot of fun, and their writing really shows the relationship between the 2 characters. Well done Kestrels!
Using Scratch for Programming
This week, year 5 have continued with their Computing topic of using Scratch for programming.
. They have made a serious of short programs with moving parts and added sound to them. Have a look at a few of the videos.
Big Bang Theory
Our topic in year 5 this half term is Earth & Space.
This week, we have been looking at theories surrounding The Big Bang. The children carried out an experiment to support their understanding of how our universe has been expanding for billions of years, and is continuing to. They marked their balloons with a serious of letters and measured the points before and after the balloons had been blown up to full size. Their explanations on their findings were very informative. Well done Kestrels!
Rock Music
Our topic this half term is Rock music. The children are absolutely loving the songs, especially Living on a Prayer by Bon Jovi. They have already listened and appraised the song and today, they learnt the lyrics and produced accompaniments on their glockenspiels. So talented year 5!
