Year 5 have had a super day for No Pens Day Wednesday. It has been a day that has encouraged Miss Sowry to plan  lessons  that  didn’t  involve the children needing to use their  pens or pencils and to run a day of hands on and speaking and listening activities. In  English we performed our news reports in front of the the class and then we discussed what was good about each  news report and what they could improve for next time. Each child said at least one positive aspect and one aspect that each group could work on.

In Maths, we created a ‘human’ negative number line with the whole class- which was so much fun 🙂 

Then in Science, we began to make and develop our parachutes as part of our Forces topic in Science- pictures to come soon.

Overall, we had a fantastic Wednesday and enjoyed not using pens, pencils or even whiteboard pens for the day.
