Sycamore - Year 5 | Powick CofE Primary School

Welcome to Year 5 Sycamore Class.

Teacher: Miss Maclean

Teaching Assistant: Mrs Barber

We have started Wellbeing Week with a shared reading session with Year 3

We hopped on the smoothie bike and peddled our way to enjoying a healthy strawberry, pineapple and mango smoothie.

We loved the climbing wall.

We completed the Powick Mile.

Some of the Year 5 girls and their families helped to organise a superhero cake sale to raise money to send Charlie to Lapland. They raised an amazing £972.08. Well done.

We launched our bottle rockets and measured how far they travelled.

World Book Day. We have been celebrating World Book Day with our potato book characters. They enjoyed having their story read to them by their owners.

We have been learning about Aztec Gods. We have used what we have learnt to create our own God. We then presented these in our groups to the class.

We shared our stories with Year 6. We shared what we liked, what we thought was successful and what could be a target for next time.

We had a great morning when QinetiQ visited us today. We had to work as a team to solve problems. We had so much fun.
