Sponge the Teacher
As part of our fundraising at school for the Year 5 trip, children took part in a sponge the teacher event. Some teachers were very kind and allowed multiple children to throw soaking wet sponges at them all in the name of fundraising.
Well done Beechwood!

Spring Maths
Year 5 have covered numerous areas within Maths so far this year. Recently, the children developed a key value of co-operation to complete a tarsia. This activity challenges the children and develops communication skills. There are often red-herrings within a tarsia so the children need to justify their responses.
September 2017
The academic year has gone off to a great start and pupils are settling into the routines and structure of their New Year group. In year five, our English unit which is based on the movie – UP kicked off with a fantastic hook where children immersed themselves into the story and explored the emotions of the characters. We made 3d paper houses and used helium balloons to send them off into the sky with our wishes. The children were fascinated by the display and it was a struggle to contain their excitement. Back in class wrote a small blurb describing the event.
