Welcome to Year 5

 Article 28 Every child has the right to an education

            Blue Peter               

On Friday 15th November, our friends at Blue Peter invited the children to come and take part in the

Children In Need Blue Peter live show. 

The children got to meet Pudsy Bear and take part in a world record for how many sets of pudsy bear ears could be placed on in 30 seconds. To beat the record the presenter had to place more than 17 headbands on the children within the time.

The offical judicator from the Guiness World Records was present on the show. The presenter sucessfully put on 18 sets of Pudsy Ears in the time making it the new world record.

The children had a great time.

We even took Augustine Bear with us and he got his first Blue Peter Badge.

Friendship Week

This year we celebrated Friendship Week between 11th-15th November.

The theme this year is

'Choose Respect'

On Tuesday we had Odd Socks Day! 

We asked all children and staff to wear odd socks to school.    

Odd Socks Day is about understanding that everyone is different and unique and that everyone is EQUAL. 

Classes took part in a range of activities in their daily PHSE lesson.

Year 5 wrote some lovely friendship recipies.

           Cinema Trip         

On Tuesday 12th November Year 5 and 6 went to the Vue Cinema at the Lowry, to watch a film as a special treat.

They were lucky enough to watch the new Paddington In Peru Movie.

Everyone really enjoyed it and had a great time.

On Monday 11th November our wonderful year 6 led us in our Remembrance Day assembly. they told us all about why we hold Remebrance Day services and why we wear poppies.

They then led the school in a 2 minutes silence to pay respect to all those who lost their lives in wars past and present.

Respect Understanding Danger Equality

On October 30th pupils in Year 5 & Year 6 took part in a R.U.D.E workshop. It was led by Dean Coady O.B.E. 

He gave an inspirational and educational talk about his experiences and how respect, understanding, dangers & equality relate to everyday life. He helps to equip and educate young people with practical ways to 'Keep Safe'  and use their voices in a positive way

On Thursday 10th October we held our Harvest Festival in school.  We were lucky enough to have lots of donations from some of our wonderful families. This has enabled us to make lots of parcels for people who may be struggling a little in these difficult times.

Some of the children in the Ethos and Inclusion Team have taken some of the donations to the Lalley Centre. The Lalley Centre help lots of people in the community who are struggling.

This young man enjoyed Hot Chocolate with Ms Shah for being such a fantastic and artistic

member of the year 5 class.

On Wednesday 16th October, some year 5 and 6 children were lucky enough to go to Media City

to take part yet again in one of the

Blue Peter shows.

This episode was to celebrate 'Diwali'.

They got to see some fantastic Bhangra dancers in action.

All the children had a great time and even got to meet Henry the dog.

They were praised for being an amazing audience.

This episode is due to be shown on Friday 1st November.

This year’s theme for Black History Month is “Reclaiming Narratives,” and marks a significant shift towards recognising and correcting the narratives of Black history and culture.

In year 5, to link with our science topic of space, we have started to look at the lives of Katherine Johnson, Guy Bluford, Mae Jemison and Benjamin Bannakar to find out about their amazing work and the contributions they made to space travel.

We hope to write some mini biographies and hopefully get to share them with other classes in school.

Take a look at some of our Mini Biographies

Look what we have been up to!

Our Science topic this term has been the Solar System so we have combined this with our art to produce some space pictures using multi media techniques.

We also produced some art to show the phases of the moon.

International Peace Day  

On Friday 20th September St Augustine's celebrated World Pace Day together.

The children and staff were encouraged to come to school in their traditional clothes or

something they feel represents themselves. Everyone looked fantastic.

All the classes got do take part in lots of fun activities in the morning.

The cook had prepared a special lunch with food from around the world.

In the afternoon parents joined us and we were all given a rock to decorate with words of love and peace.

These rocks are going to be put in our new peace garden.

 On Friday 14th September it was 'Take Over Day' at St Augustine's

Earlier in the week the children throughout school had to vote for who they would like to have as the Headteacher and Deputy Head for the day.

The votes were counted and the lucky person to get the role of head teacher was Miss Tall and the Deputy was Miss Zeray both from year 6.

In year 5 we had a number of different lessons prepared and lead by the children. 

We had a P.E lesson, Dance Lesson, Languages lessons and an Art lesson.

The children did an amazing job of becoming teachers and delivered some good lessons.
