Y5 15.8.22 Weekly Update
Friday 15th July 2022 – Y5 Weekly Update
Looking back:
It’s been a really busy week in Year 5. On Monday, we were visited by the Tiger haulage company. They gave us a very interesting talk about staying safe around HGV lorries, and showed the children how lorry drivers have a ‘blind-spot’ which makes it difficult to see pedestrians and cyclists.
On Thursday and Friday, the children have enjoyed two days of Bikeability. I hope they have found this very useful and they have a greater awareness of road safety. While one group were out on the roads, the other group made a moving toy using cam mechanisms.
Year 5 – Pupils’ Highlights:
- We really enjoyed writing our own stories with a dilemma.
- We found the presentation from ‘Tiger’ very useful.
- We've loved doing Scratch with Mr Cowell (Mrs Cowell's son).
Family discussion questions:
- Ask the children if they remember where a HGV lorry’s blind spots are.
- Ask the children if they can remember the different parts of a cam mechanism.
Looking forward:
Unbelievably, we find ourselves at the last week of the school year. This has been a fantastic year and the children have been so hard working and incredibly enthusiastic. They have been a pleasure to teach.
Next week, we will be completing our local history topic work, and our science topic too. We will also be watching the Year 6 class perform their wonderful production.
Monday and Tuesday are forecast to be very hot - don't forget sunhats, sun cream and waterbottles! Children are allowed to wear PE kits into school on Monday aswell as Tuesday.

Enjoy the weekend!
