Today we were treated to a performance by Quantum Theatre. The show was about solving a mystery of a stolen machine. Sherbet Holmes, Waffle and Fibonacci helped us solve the case!

In maths we used negative numbers to count back from zero using a human numberline.                                      

We had a lovely time at Clonter Opera learning how design stages and the pitch of different voices.  We also watched the musical show in the theatre.                                       

Thank you for a lovely year and all of the very nice presents that I received. I look forward to having you all again for your last year in primary school. Hope that you all have a lovely summer remember to try to have time to read as much as you can and keep learning. See you in September! Miss Sowry 🙂

On Monday, Year 5 had our first bible explorers lesson with Beth from New Life Church. We learnt about some of the stories from the old testiment and we learnt actions

for each story .We really enjoyed it when Beth lets us dress up and act out scenes from the stories we learnt. It was a really fun way to learn about the bible and we can’t wait until next time!

On Friday, we made a fortune tellers to help us with fractions, decimals and percentages. We then tested each others knowledge 🙂

In our book, Beowulf, we have been looking at characterization and we decided to think of who a new hero who could save the town after Grendel’s attack at Mead Hall. We then thought about questions that we could ask the new potential heroes.

We designed and made Viking Shields then added our names in Viking Runes onto the finished shields (again apologies for them being the wrong way around!)

We designed, made and decorated our moving mechanisms based on Beowulf and Vikings. Apologies for them being the wrong way around (I can’t tilt them!)

T Wow! What an amazing but exhausting day that Year 5 had at Legoland as part of our whole school trip.

We investigated air resistance by designing parachutes. We then tested our different parachutes on the school playground and kept it a fair test by using the same person to drop the parachute each time. We concluded that the size and shape affects the speed of the parachute and the more or less air resistance that it has. IMG_1085

img_3165img Today we travelled to Saudi Arabia to visit the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque. We walked through the main entrance in to the prayer room. Next we looked at the minerets and the reflecting pools. Google expeditions made all of this possible. We were also able to take an underwater tour and go shark hunting. This 3D virtual reality experience was amazing! Read More →

So Year 5 2015-16 is completed and I can’t believe I’ve finished my first year at Marlfields.  We’ve had some amazing experiences and worked hard. I am so proud of you all. You are an amazing group of children and I’m so excited and privileged to be teaching you again next year. Thank you so much for all the lovely gifts, cards and wishes. I promise I’m not crying reading them all! Have a fabulous holiday!

On Thursday 7th July, Marlfields Primary Academy had their Sports Day. Key Stage 1 did theirs in the morning and Key Stage 2 in the afternoon. Everyone had a great time and some of the races were very close! We would like to thank Multiflex for their commitment and help to make sports more accessible to us.

Wednesday evening was the annual Congleton Town Sports event. Marlfields were amazing in their team spirit, behaviour and sheer determination. Well done to all the competitors, you did us proud!
