Y5 pupils learnt about some amazing Victorian inventions in our mini museum. What a fantastic way to share extra home learning! The mini models were outstanding. @LeasStAndrews

Two treats in one week! A lovely ice cream gifted from the wonderful Mrs Wilkins on her retirement after dedicating 28years to our St. Andrew’s family. Then, a fantastic disco where our Yr5s and staff danced the night way! @LeasStAndrews

In DT this term, Y5 have been making something new and innovative by researching sustainability and recycling old plastic bottles. The creations have been so diverse yet so creative. ♻️🌎. @LeasStAndrews

Today in computing, Y5 were learning how to use concept maps to organised and present information. We chose our own favourite topic to learn how to add a node and change the colour, design or font. We are thoroughly enjoying this unit. @LeasStAndrews

In Science Y5 we’re learning how to separate materials. We discovered that soluble materials can be separated using evaporation and insoluble materials separated using filtration. We planned and carried out our own investigations. @LeasStAndrews

Some of the year 5 pupils were investigating the work of the artist Wassily Kandinsky. They created a scrapbook about his life and artwork and then painted their own artistic creations. @LeasStAndrews

In English this week, we have worked extremely hard to self and peer edit our writing. @LeasStAndrews

Y5 have come back after the half term ready to continue with their key I stand recall facts (KIRFs). The daily 10 minute mental maths boost each day builds speed and knowledge. We love it! @LeasStAndrews
