Welcome to Year 5!

Well done to the Year 5/6 football team in the Headingley Cup. See the Physical Education and Sport page for photos from the tournament.

Year 5 Mock Election

In the week leading up to the general election Year 5 learned about the democratic system in the UK.

We decided to have a mock election in our class, the children created their own political parties, slogans, manifestos and even filmed a party political broadcast. Year 6 were invited into our class on the final day to hear the arguments, watch the campaign videos and to cast their vote.

Who would get your vote?

Year 5 Mock Election

In Science we have been learning about forces; we did some practical activities to investigate. Are these forces balanced or unbalanced?

Balanced or unbalanced forces?

Year 5 have been using stop motion animation to create videos based around our Maya topic.
