Year 5: 2023-2024 (Spring Term)
So impressed with the decorated eggs the children have brought in - our classroom looks like an art gallery today! I hear some of the grown-ups had lots of fun with these too😊@FallaParkSchool @Miss_Carr_Falla pic.twitter.com/5OjL8WTSfJ

We have learned so much from our Eagles basketball sessions. There are coaching sessions at Cardinal Hume School, run by The Eagles. You can sign your child up through their website. @FallaParkSchool @Miss_Carr_Falla @MrSmith_falla pic.twitter.com/Z49gefSOPG

Year 5 experimented with pendulums during British Science Week. We investigated how increasing air resistance by adding different -sized pieces of card, affects the time it took our pendulums to stop. @FallaParkSchool @Miss_Carr_Falla @Mrs_Crellin pic.twitter.com/HXHjUCCEoG

We learned about different careers in the Police Force on Careers Day, and carried out our own research into careers in other industries that we hadn’t heard of before. We now have budding detectives and joiners! @FallaParkSchool @Miss_Carr_Falla @Mrs_Crellin pic.twitter.com/GbuO8uIUrE

We loved sharing stories with each other and our reading buddies on World Book Day. We listened to the advice of our class author, Saviour Pirotta, and practised using art to begin a setting description. @MrsBarter_Falla @FallaParkSchool pic.twitter.com/MkrMAoFhnm

It’s Mental Health Week, and we’ve been choosing activities in English that can help us feel calm and happy: story time, quizzes and riddles with our friends! See if you can solve some of our favourites…@FallaParkSchool @MrsBarter_Falla pic.twitter.com/V0VdoFHOGr

So proud of our basketball stars today. One of our teams got through to the final play-off, where they played brilliantly but just missed out on a win. Very impressed with the teamwork and positive attitudes. @FallaParkSchool @Miss_Carr_Falla @MrSmith_falla pic.twitter.com/t3WKwiaMJ0

We have been studying the root growth of these spider plant babies in water for a few months, and at playtime today we planted them as they’re so big! We know the soil has the nutrients that bigger plants need. @FallaParkSchool @Miss_Carr_Falla @Mrs_Crellin pic.twitter.com/J20RJ232Lq

In science, we found different types of the same materials around the classroom, then we planned our own tests to find out how strong, magnetic and waterproof they were. @FallaParkSchool @Miss_Carr_Falla @Mrs_Crellin pic.twitter.com/qoUFknxIxh
