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.

RE: Drop Down Morning
This year, Year 5 have already had 2 RE Drop Down Mornings. These are designed to recap learning over the course of a whole morning so that children can better remember key information. In Autumn term, we learnt about Christianity and then we learnt about Islam in Spring. This morning, it was the turn of Judaism.
We learnt about the history of Judaism and where Jewish people live today. We also learnt about what Jewish people believe and what is important to them. Finally, we summarised our learning across all three drop down mornings by sorting statements into a three way Venn diagram.
I have been very impressed with the children’s knowledge and understanding in this subject.
Help at home by asking your child to name the Abrahamic religions. What do they have in common?

Living and Learning: Staying Safe Week
This week we have had a themed week all about staying safe. We have has plenty of visitors into school to talk to us about different ways we can stay safe.
On Monday, we learnt about road safety and Dave from D:Side taught us all about the dangers of vapes and cigarettes.
On Tuesday, the Health and Wellbeing team from Leeds City Council taught all about how to keep ourselves protected from infection and how best to treat different illnesses.
On Wednesday, British Military Martial Arts helped us energise ourselves and the fire service spoke to us about fire safety.
To finish off the week, we had an assembly all about water safety run by the Canal and River Trust.
We have also learnt in class about level crossings, peer pressure, respecting boundaries and recognising harmful relationships.
The children have all been very respectful to all the visitors and spoken maturely about all the issues raised.
Help at home by discussing this week’s learning and considering how the children can stay safe at home.
Forest School!
Year 5 have thoroughly enjoyed their second stint in Forest School this half term – particularly as the weather has got (a bit) warmer! They have been exploring the whole of the Green and having lots of fun. They have been making dens, lighting fires, cooking food and sawing wood!
The children are learning key skills around cooperation, assessing risks, resilience and healthy living. They are always so full of enthusiasm when they come back after a morning in the Forest School.
Just a reminder that the children still have one more Forest School session left on the first Friday back after half term (5th June) due to the INSET day next Friday.
Help at home by discussing the children’s favourite part of Forest School.
