So far in September, Year 5 have worked with 'Tech She Can', to look at exciting careers in STEM industries. During our first session, we learned about a range of different careers and had a go at stepping in to the shoes of a designer! We can't wait for more of these sessions to inspire us!
Year 5 STEM
Joy of Movement
IN Year 5, we have started our Joy of Movement sessions with staff from Rotherham United. We are learning how to keep our both our bodies and minds healthy and active. Our first session looked at what is defined as 'physical activity' and looked at how children are active both in and out of school. Fabulous work Y5!
Tech She Can Session Two
Year 5 had their second 'Tech She Can' session. This half term, we have focused on careers and jobs related to 'connectivity'. To help us understand more about careers and jobs in this area of industry, we used iPads to trial augmented reality. It was a fabulous session and we learned a lot about different careers linked to the internet. We can't wait to learn about even more careers!
Writing
In Year 5 this week, we have been planning a diary entry using comic strips to really focus on our chronology and main events. We were so impressed with the High Five presentation that we saw. Well done!
Year 5 School Councillors
Year 5 have voted and we now have three fantastic representatives on our school council. Miss Benton, who leads our school council, is very much looking forward to working with these excellent role models in Year 5.
Year 5 library visits
At Badsley, we love to read!! We have a fantastic library where we visit each week to enjoy and share stories together. Here are some photos of some of our lovely Y5s enjoying their time to read for pleasure.
5B Music
5B have started their music lessons! In Year 5, we learn to play the ukeleles as part of our Personal Development and music offer. The children are loving their opportunity to learn an instrument this year.
5M School Councillors
5M have chosen their school councillor! Mr Morton was so impressed with every candidate who applied and interviewed. In their speeches, each child really thought about the characteristics they could bring to the class leader but also thought how they could empowers others. After a class ballot, Fathima and Hurairah were elected as 5M lead and vice. Well done to everyone who applied!
Our Class Charters.
Our Class Charters link to the UN Convention of the Rights of the Child. Our whole school articles are displayed to remind the children of their rights.
