Year 5 have spent the majority of this week preparing for sharing day and thoroughly enjoyed sharing their learning through the arts with you. A big well done to everyone involved in the lead up to sharing day and thank you so much to everyone who supported and attended today! The children worked incredibly hard to perfect their drama frames, reflect on their artwork and ensure that their case study research was up to date and complete to their fullest potential. Enjoy a well deserved weekend and rest up in preparation for camp week.

Here is the link so that you can access the photos and videos from sharing day:

UOI

When we return from camp we will get straight into our third unit.

We look forward to exploring the water cycle, looking at how access to water differs around the world, understanding water distribution as well as highlighting the importance of saving water.

Central Idea:

People’s actions can impact our water resources

Lines of Inquiry:

How water changes (change)

Responsibilities regarding water (responsibility)

Distribution, availability of, and access to, usable water (connection)

maths

During camp the children will apply their knowledge of time in order to organise and manage themselves at the start of each day. They will be problem solving throughout the week in their groups and having the opportunity to apply maths knowledge to a range of activities.

Each evening, the children will have the chance to reflect on their day at camp. Here they can think about new experiences, talk about new friendships and even perhaps try new food!

Camp prep

Important Reminder – School Snacks and Lunches

At Beacon Hill School have a number of children who are allergic to nuts. When preparing snacks and lunches for your children please avoid using nut products like Nutella and peanut butter. We thank you for your cooperation.

Camp Snacks

Today your child will bring home the snack suggestion to bring along to camp. This year we are trying to keep waste down so please only send in what you have been asked to bring in. In previous years we have had so much left over that it rotted. We appreciate that you may want to send in more but please don’t.

If you haven’t managed to get your camp snack into school by Friday, please ensure your child brings it in on Monday!
