Everyone had so much fun!

Yorkshire Water Treatment Works
We had a brilliant morning at Yorkshire Water Treatment Works in Headingley. We had a tour of the site and learnt so much about how water is cleaned ready for us to drink.
Greek pots
We made Greek inspired clay coil pots then painted our designs on them once our pots had dried.
Our Ancient Greek Myths Performance
We worked very hard planning, writing and rehearsing our plays, along with making all our own props and masks. We performed Hercules, Theseus and the Minotaur and three different versions of Perseus and Medusa. Following our performance, we ate a delicious Greek banquet with our parents who watched the show!

Children studied the artist Serena Hall and her work. They painted a picture in the style of Serena Hall. Every child’s painting is amazing! They should be very proud of themselves.
Pebbles
Everyone chose a pebble from Filey Beach. We looked at the shape of our pebble to decide how we would design it.
See below for flags, pizza, ice cream, flowers, dogs and other animals!
Filey
Year 5 had a fantastic day in Filey. They explored in rockpools and built amazing sand sculptures.
Fun was definitely had by all!
Skipping
We really enjoyed our skipping workshop last week. It was such fun!
English
During English we have been reading 'A Boy and a Bear in a Boat' by Dave Shelton, which we are really enjoying. We have just found out that an unusual visitor left a comic on the boat which is written in another language. We had to try and work out what the comic (Komic) said. When we realised it was only the middle section, we invented our own beginning and ending.
Maths
In Maths we have been learning about Roman Numerals. We used coloured pencils to show some different numerals for our partner to guess.
Moral Message
For the Moral Message 'I keep going when things are difficult', we had a complicated Greek pot jigsaw to cut out and assemble. Although it was quite tricky, we all kept going and persevering and co-operated well with others to offer help and support.
Welcome back to school - I hope you all had a brilliant summer and are ready for the exciting challenges of Year 5!
