On Friday 18th November, Arnot St Mary supported the charity Children in Need. To help raise funds for the event, 5MC baked cakes to be sold at the cake sale at the end of the day. We also had our faces painted to show our support. We loved making the cakes, especially when we got to eat some of the left over icing and butter cream. Yummy! Have a look at our photos below to see what we got up to.

In the last week of autumn term 1, Sportslinx visited our school to carry out some fitness tests. Have a look at our pictures to see us being competetive and working hard to get the best results we were capable of.
A big thank you to Sportslinx for such an enjoyable morning.
This week we have been looking at the properties of shapes. First, we ventured outside to find parallel lines, which are lines which will never meet. Following that, we investigated right angles in shapes. To put our knowledge to the test, we then made common shapes using our bodies. See if you can spot some of them in our pictures.
For the past two weeks Year 5MC have been learning about instructions in Literacy. We have enjoyed making pizzas and chocolate cakes. Have a look at our pictures. If you fancy any of our recipes, pop along to our class and take a look at our Literacy work and we will happily talk you through them.
Welcome back to the new Year 5MC. Feels like we haven’t been away! Have a look at our pictures from our first week back. This week we started it off by playing a game called ‘Find someone who…’ where the children had to find someone who could count to ten in Spanish for example. Following that the children then started an art activity with their partner. Stay tuned for the finished results!
Since returning from the Easter break, Year 5 have been studying The Highwayman, a poem by Alfred Noyes. After looking at the different elements of the poem, like similes and metaphors, the children took on the roles of Bess, The Highwayman, Tim, the ostler and a Redcoat. Here they are acting out the main events in the poem.
If you would like to read The Highwayman then click here. Also there is a great video which captures the love and tragedy between Bess and The Highwayman. Click here to see the video.
Year 5MC started the year off with their problem solving caps on. Using a puzzle from the new Professor Layton and the Lost Future, the children had to rearrange the shapes into the shape of Professor Layton’s hat. Here are some pictures of the children working hard.
Well done to all the children, especially those who cracked it. Believe me, it was no easy task. Here is the problem. Have a go yourself.
Here are year 5 acting out famous Shakespearean sonnets. We used drama to try to understand the language used and the hidden themes within the poems. If you are interested in sonnet writing, pop to year 5 and ask the children the different features you must have to make it a successful sonnet.
