tURTLES MUSIC
Turtles class have throughly enjoyed their music lessons this half term. This week we explored note notelength using percussion instruments, helping us to understand how sounds can be long or short. After practising, the children came together to perform 'The Gift of the Nile' with the class split into three groups (instrumentalists, vocals and a dancers). Together they created a fantastic performance.

Jaguars Cooking
Jaguars had a fantastic time this week preparing, cooking and eating spaghetti bolognese! Sensibly, we chopped the vegetables whilst the mince and spaghetti cooked on the hob. Each group added different ingredients to change the taste and appearance of their desired dish. Our favourite part was (of course) eating it!

Computing
Year 5 have had a fantastic week! In Computing, we recapped how to stay safe online and created our own Password Tumblers to generate unique passwords. In D.T, we tasted some different bolognese sauces and discussed their texture, taste and packaging. This will help us decide which sauce we want when we make our own spaghetti bolognese later in the half term. 'Find your match' was a game we played in French this week to help us recap conversational phrases. We went around the room to ask 'Comment tu t'appelles?' to find our matching character. Once we found them, we had a small conversation to practise our turn-taking. It's been a busy but fun-filled first full week of Year 5!
