BSM Year 5

Wishing you luck at the National Qualifying Competition in Sheffield and The British Swimming Championships Lauren! #everyonecan #wearebsm #wellbeingfirst #britishswimming

Our @BSMuscatY5 students were incredibly #motivated, #resilient and #confident at their swimming gala this week. They encouraged each other in each race and it was great to hear their #collaborative team spirit! Well done Year 5! #everyonecan #bestfortheworld @BSMuscat

Year 5 have been having lots of fun whilst they learn. They have been #linking their knowledge of Norse mythology with creating tiles from clay. @BSMuscat @HPLedu @PrincipalMuscat @BSMuscatHeadPri

We have been learning about the geographical features of the United Kingdom on a variety of maps. We had a great time finding the capital and major cities, rivers, mountains and seas. We also used our linking skills to find places that we have studied in the past. @BSMuscat

In Year 5, we have been learning all about poetic devices. We listened carefully to one another’s ideas and asked great questions to check for understanding. Try to spot our use of rhyme, alliteration, metaphors and personification. #alternativeperspectives @BSMuscat

As part of our work on explaining our understanding of multiplication, we have been honing our communication skills and developing accurate use of vocabulary #resilience

The Y5 children have had an amazing time learning all about famous playwright, William Shakespeare #bigpicturethinking

In Year 5, we have been learning about life cycles. Can you explain what is happening in this photo? Taken by: Rupert 5B #everyonecan #generalisation @BSMuscat @BSMuscatHeadPri

Can you guess why the Year 5 Teachers are getting excited? #recce #fieldwork #bigpicturethinking @BSMuscat @BSMuscatHeadPri

This week, we have been using our geography skills to find major mountain ranges and cities in Oman using maps. #generalisation @BSMuscat @PrincipalMuscat @BSMuscatHeadPri

We made a great start to our science unit 'Living Things and their Habitats' by linking what we already know to classify animals by their features. #linking @BSMuscatHeadPri @BSMuscatPrimary @PrincipalMuscat

We had an amazing field trip to the National Museum on Thursday. It gave us an incredible insight into our Prehistory unit. We made sketches, studied the artifacts, and asked juicy questions. #connectionfinding @PrincipalMuscat @BSMuscatPrimary

We traveled around the space as astronauts in our #BSMuscat #Rocketship🚀 #learningtour to discover 🔭interesting and amazing facts about our solar system. We created the planets, sun🌞 and some satellites that orbit around the sun. @BSMuscatHeadPri @PrincipalMuscat @BSMuscat

In Art and DT we have been learning about seasonality and researching the fruit and vegetables grown at different times in different countries. Then we created some veg boxes to reflect each season. Lovely work Year 5! @PrincipalMuscat @BSMuscatHeadPri @BSMuscatPrimary

We have been investigating food miles and discovering how far our food travels to reach us in Oman. We were surprised at where some of the foods in our cupboards have come from!

Year 5 have learned about the emergence of Brood X cicadas in the Eastern USA. Mary linked Science, English and Art & DT skills to create this interactive poster explaining the cicada's unique life-cycle. Well done Mary! @BSMuscatPrimary @PrincipalMuscat @BSMuscatHeadPri

The teachers are so proud of the effort and creativity the children have shown when making their pop-up book re-telling the story of Pandora's Box - especially impressive since they have been working from home this term! @PrincipalMuscat @BSMuscatHeadPri @BSMuscatPrimary

Last week the children in Year 5 were challenged to make a model falaj using materials they had a home. The children impressed us with their creativity in finding and using different materials! @BSMuscatPrimary
