Mrs Cain DSM

We have been loving @DrAlexGoerge1 book 'A Better Day'. Today we talked about the different 'levers' in our minds and how they change during different events and how different feelings and emotions are normal to experience. #childrensmentalhealth #understandingwhoweare

Today in First News Club, we have been discussing whether we'd eat food made by a 3D printer, animal cruelty, the new Mario Movie and Minecraft! #firstnews #whatshappeningintheworld

During Science today, Y5 learnt about Gustav Holst's famous composition 'The Planets', the children used Garage Band and composed their own music to represent different planets...some couldn't help but move to their own music! #earth&space #GustavHolst #checkoutthosemoves

Me and my daughter love the @OxUniPress Reading Buddy online books. The quizzes at the end are great fun too! I love the fact it has a huge variety of texts and covers all reading ages and abilities! #promotingreadingforpleasure

Y5 have enjoyed #BritishScienceWeek2023 starting with @BBCTeach live lesson about forces. The children then designed and created parachutes and were finding out how the surface area effects air resistance and speed. We had a great afternoon testing and timing them.

Fun with Sphero in Year 5 sharing Darwin's findings in the Galapagos islands #letscode #practicalpragramming

Today Year 5 celebrated John 3:16 Day by creating a foldable story about the verse. We also discussed changes in our life and the world and the positive impacts they have had. #John316 @RyderDsm

Year 5 have enjoyed a great workshop all about a person's journey within the NHS and the services available to them. A big thanks to Iain from @UHMBT #holisticjourney #ourNHS

We had a great afternoon exploring which materials were soluble or insoluble as well as discussing the different variables that could impact the results. The children did a great job at writing up their investigations.

3 weeks in and Y5 are already nose deep in our class books.We enjoy Varjak Paw at the end of the day and have just started,and already hooked on, Kensuke’s Kingdom as part of @successforalluk Favourite question this week‘Can I take a book out to read at playtime?’@DaltonStMarys

Y5 has been bringing their Mars Martians to life transferring their drawing from Sketches then into Keynote and using the animation tools. Coding skills were also used to create movements in sequence. Brilliant Work Y5! @DaltonStMarys @hcccroskery

Go Year 5! App smashing at its best!
