It’s been a lovely week in Year 5 this week. The Christmas tree is up, we had a fantastic time at the panto and are going to make some lovely decorations. In curriculum we have been learning about how we can separate salt and water by drawing some pictures and allowing the water to evaporate. We finished this week with a bonus lesson with Rees Sports who helped us improve our netball skills.
This morning, KS2 were treated to a trip to the theatre to watch Beauty and the Beast, the children were amazing throughout the production and were also treated to an ice cream during the interval.
year 8 children at Rivington and Blackrod High School are supporting Bolton Destitute Animal Shelter this Christmas. If you are able to donate a small toy or treat please bring to school by Friday 12th December. Thank you 🐶 🐈⬛
We spent our afternoon practising different yoga poses! It was definitely harder than we all expected—Mr. Pogorzelec included!
We then spent 10 minutes with the lights off, lying on our yoga mats and listening to a guided meditation. 🧘♀️🧘♂️
Safe to say, some children even caught a few 💤!
We have had a very busy week in Year 5. Monday saw the start of assessment week and we have worked really hard to show off our learning. On Tuesday we attended Harper Green for the morning, learning about careers. A cleaning company came to speak to us about all the job opportunities they provide. It was exciting to hear about all the amazing events they had worked at – cricket, Olympics, football, horse racing, concerts…the list was endless! We even got to see an Olympic torch from the 2012 games.
This morning Key Stage 2 children took part in an assembly run by Yunex Traffic who develop systems and services to make our roads safer, more efficient and more sustainable.
They also discussed the importance of road safety.
Our Year 5 remembrance service assembly today was truly special. The children performed beautifully, singing with heartfelt emotion and showing deep respect throughout. Their hard work and dedication all week shone through in every moment. We are so proud of their maturity, teamwork, and thoughtful reflection on this important occasion. We also send thanks to all at home who supported us to make this service so special.
This afternoon, seven incredible year 5 and 6 girls took part in a netball competition, winning all three of their games which took them to the final.
These girls showed determination and strength, along with amazing teamwork, playing with smiles on their faces.
They continued to push with everything they had in the final, but it wasn’t meant to be this time, but they came second over all which is fantastic.
St Peter’s is so proud of their amazing achievements. Well done to you all.
We have had a frantic, competitive end to our football topic today. We saw red cards, yellow cards, goals, celebrations and a few commiserations! Well done to our overall winners – the Fire Team. Another huge well done to our tournament sports stars. 👏👏
Year 5 have been learning all about different types of settlement in the UK. We have been fact finding about Cartmel as a village, Bolton as a town and Norwich as a city. All very different but great places to live!
