Canon Sharples Year Five

Y5CH worked well in Science to test thermal conductivity. They carried out an experiment, in their groups, to test metal & plastic for heat transfer. They recorded results and drew conclusions from them. @CanonYearFive @CanonSharples #CSSCIENCE

Y5CH started to make new replacement paper bins as part of an Eco art project. Great team effort! 👏💙 @CanonYearFive @CanonSharples @LT_Trust #CSECO

Y5CH celebrated Sir David Attenborough’s 100th birthday. They watched live footage to remember & appreciate all he has done for habitats, endangered species & the environment. A well-respected advocate for sustainability of the planet.@LT_Trust @CanonYearFive @CanonSharples

Y5CH learned about decision-making and peer pressure. They acted out scenarios from different perspectives to demonstrate assertive, aggressive & passive responses. Then decided how they would actually respond. They worked well with their peers. 💙👍🙌 @LT_Trust @CanonYearFive

Y5CH enjoyed experimenting with different materials in Science. They tested properties of objects & identified the suitability for the object’s purpose. Well done! 🙌👍 Great team work and lots of discussion using scientific vocabulary. 🧪🧫💙@LT_Trust @CanonSharples #CSSCIENCE

Our Eco Warriors had a special visit today from ‘City of Trees’ to talk about tree planting and the benefits. The Eco team asked and answered questions and offered their ideas about trees they would like in the school grounds. @LT_Trust @CanonSharples #CSECO

Well done to the winners of the Eco Warrior poster competition! 👏 Eco Warriors worked really hard to create a poster for our school and it was certainly a tough decision for the judges. 💚♻️🌳🌎@LT_Trust @CanonSharples

For Science week, today Y5CH asked questions that “pique” their curiosity…@LT_Trust @CanonSharples @CanonYearFive #CSPSSCIENCE #BSW26

Well done & thank you to the children in Y5CH as well as some of our Eco Warriors for tidying the school grounds this afternoon and preparing flower beds for new growth (relating to our Sow, Grow & Farm topic). 👏🌎♻️🪴💚 @LT_Trust @CanonSharples @CanonYearFive

Amazing work today from our Eco Warriors! 👏🙌 Litter-picking around the perimeter of the school grounds and Whelley Loop Line was an arduous task but they persevered and achieved the goal. Great team effort!🌎🌳♻️@LT_Trust @CanonSharples #CSECO

Eco Warriors took part in an online event this morning, learning about the work of the Woodland Trust and finding out what Eco jobs they could do in the future. They discussed questions posed & shared ideas about their particular Eco interests. 🌎🌳@LT_Trust @CanonSharples @cseco

Congratulations to Y5CH award winners this week! Amazing work - well done! 👏💙@LT_Trust @CanonSharples @CanonYearFive

Y5CH enjoyed World Book Day yesterday and came to school dressed as a book character. They took part in World Book Day activities including ‘hunt the book title’ & watched Charlotte’s Web(Y5 book study).📚@LT_Trust @CanonSharples @CanonYearFive

Y5CH enjoyed creating a human storyboard depicting the Easter story. They worked in teams to order the story in chronological order then re-generated the story on a whole class level using non-verbal communication. Well done! 🙌💙@LT_Trust @CanonSharples @CanonYearFive

In art, Y5CH recreated black & white photographs using pencil, pen & shading techniques studied this term (cross-hatching, stippling, scribbling & smudging) 🎨 A great start! Looking forward to seeing the finished versions…@CanonSharples @LT_Trust @CanonYearFive #CSART

In topic, Y5CH studied the impact of UK modern farming. They learned about monoculture, intensive tillage, irrigation technologies, fertilisers & pesticides then worked in teams to decide whether the impact was an advantage/disadvantage.🌎 @LT_Trust @CanonYearFive @CanonSharples
