This week in topic we have been using our knowledge about Anglo-Saxon Gods and Goddesses to create our own board games and crosswords. We then moved around the class so that everyone got a chance to play each other's games. Everyone had lots of fun!

Year 5 have had their final session with the coaches from Bolton Rugby Club, who have been visiting us every Monday for our P.E lesson. The children have learnt a lot and really enjoyed playing rugby. We might even have a few future England players in the class! 

Year 5 have been busy researching Anglo-Saxon Gods and Goddesses as part of their homework. We have presented these in front of the class and have made our own book to be displayed in class! 

On Monday we were learning about the Runic alphabet. We created our own bookmarks with our names on, using the alphabet that the Anglo-Saxons used. We think they look great!

This week Year 5 have created our own Anglo Saxon village as part of our Topic unit.

As part of mini-enterprise week the children have played the finance games on the Nationwide Website. The games are aimed at 7-11 years old and help with the children's' understanding in the area of financial capability.

To start off mini-enterprise week, Year 5 have participated in a workshop where they have discussed lots of important aspects of 'money', including needs and wants.

The children have planned their experiment and are now making their parachutes to test. Do you think the biggest or smallest parachute will fall the fastest?
