End of Year 5!
Just a quick note to say well done to every single one of Year 5 for a brilliant year! They are well and truly ready for their final year at Moortown! I have been really proud of all the things they have achieved this year.
I wish them all the best for Year 6 and I know they are going to smash it!
Thank you for all your support over the year as well as the very generous gifts both all the staff in Year 5 have received. They are very much appriciated.
Have a brilliant summer!
DT food and nutrition
On Wednesday, Year 5 made a tomato sauce. They worked really hard with Miss Canning chopping, cooking, measuring and cleaning! They served their tomato sauce with pasta and they said it was delicious!
Y5/6 Production of the Amazing Adventures of Superstan!
I have been incredibly impressed and proud of the performances of all the Year 5 children at the production this week! Everyone has worked really hard to make the performance as excellent as it was on Tuesday and Wednesday night! Whether they have been acting, singing or making props every single child has shown dedication and the result was superb. I really hope that they enjoyed as much as all the staff at school did!
Well done to you all and I can’t wait to see you all in next year’s production as Year 6s!
Scientists: we are Biologists!
In our science unit, we are biologists. Biology is the study of living things.
In this week’s lesson, we dissected a flower called Alstroemeria. We labelled the different parts and discussed which of them make up the male and female reproductive systems.
Help at home: Label the different parts of the flower.
Enterprise Day
Year 5 and Year 6 hosted Enterprise Day yesterday afternoon. The children were loaned £5 each from Virgin Money to be entrepreneur and create a stall which would make a profit. And, the children did exactly that! They created a refreshment stall, a pick n mix stand and an ice lolly booth (just to name a few). The played games like beat the keeper, how many hoops and splat the Year 5.
Thank you to everyone who came to support the children!

Design and Technology – sewing
This half term we are making a cushion using our sewing skills. We have already thought about the design criteria for our cushion – what will it need to be to be successful? We have used that design criteria to create a design for our cushion and chosen our materials.
Today, we created a template for our decoration on the front of our cushion by carefully drawing and cutting it our of paper. We then used the template to draw our design on the felt. Then, we used large fabric scissors to cut the felt. We also discussed how we would fill our cushions in a sustainable way. We considered what materials would be sustainable and what materials wouldn’t. We agreed that stuffing our cushions with scraps of felt would be the most sustainable way to fill our cushions.
Help at home discuss what the children’s cushions and toys are stuffed with at home? Is it sustainable?

Living and Learning: Relationships
To start, we defined a relationship as “the way in which two or more people or things are connected, or the state of being connected” and then talked about the different relationships we have in our lives. Then, we discussed healthy and unhealthy relationships and thought about how we could support and improve them. Here are a few ideas:
- being kind, considerate and respectful
- being honest
- listening to each other
- respecting personal space, boundaries and privacy
- accepting others’ differences
We then talked about similarities and differences between our families and focused in our why our families are important to us. Here are a few responses. Families provide:
- love
- care
- support
- food
- shelter
- safety
Help at home: Talk with your child about the different relationships they have.
