YEAR 5 (INDIGO)
Mr Bain (Covering for Mrs J Miller)Welcome to class 5M!
My name is Mrs Miller and I am the class teacher for 5M.
In class 5M, the children are hard working and enthusiastic. This is our class blog and we want everyone to see what we get up to while we`re learning so please keep visiting regularly for updates on what we have been getting up to in class, school news and recent letters.
Please leave a lovely comment on our blog so we know that you have visited and the children would love to hear what you think about their classroom learning and activities.
Thank you

In Maths we have been looking at different positions in relation to different objects. We used the language ‘left, right, above, below, under, on top of, next to, in front of and behind’. We worked in partners to challenge each other to find different positions in the...
Tasting foods
We tasted different foods without being able to see them and guessed what the foods were. We then found out what they were and discussed whether they were salty, sweet, bitter, sour or umami. Some foods were tastier than others!

Mystery Reader

Pretzel Party
As part of Design Technology the children were learning about food around the world. They made some tasty pretzels. It was really interesting to see how the yeast reacted when the water was added which created lots of discussion. They had to follow the instructions...
