MRPA Christmas dinner and jumper day last week! 🎄#MRPALearning

Year 5 enjoyed their Christmas dinner at Droylsden Academy today @DroyAcademy Thank you so much for the lovely meal and set up, we all loved it! 🎄#MRPALearning @MRPAyear5b

We used our oracy skills and worked in fish-bowls to discuss moral dilemmas in RE. We used our learning of Jesus’ teachings to discuss what we would do in a tricky situation, as well as a Christian. #MRPALearning #MRPARE #MRPAOracy @MRPA_RE

In maths today we used concrete cubes to explore how cubed numbers create a cube. For example we found 27 is a cube number as it has 3 dimensions of 3 (3 x 3 x 3). Some great oracy discussions about shape and integers. #MRPALearning #MRPAMaths @MRPA_Maths

In science last week we conducted an experiment on water resistance. We found that shapes with streamlined designs and less surface area have less water resistance and fall quicker! #MRPALearning #MRPAScience @MRPA_Science

What a great autumn/winter movie night after school for year 5 pupils. They enjoyed watching Natvity, while socialising with their friends eating popcorn and drinking yummy hot chocolate! Well done on such a positive night year 5 🍿🎬 #MRPALearning @MRPAyear5b

5A enjoyed their trip to the cinema yesterday! What a great experience for all the children, even if they got a sugar rush 🍿Thank you to all the adults that helped organise or came on the trip with us! #MRPALearning

Last week in English we used a back-to-back oracy activity to work on using descriptive details when describing a mythical creature! The results show how vivid detail can help your reader/listener! #MRPALearning #MRPAOracy #MRPAEnglish @MRPA_English

We challenged ourselves to 25 laps of the Astro for Children in Need 2025. We even braved the rain and wind from storm Claudia! Well done 5A 🥳 #MRPALearning #childreninneed2025 @BBCCiN

We created some great blackout style poetry to commemorate Remembrance Day! Lest we forget ❤️#MRPALearning #MRPAHistory #MRPAEnglish #RemembranceDay

Following on from our learning about multicultural Britain through Black history month, we used our oracy skills to set up a debate session. From the debate, the summary is that multiculturalism does make Britain stronger! 💙 #MRPALearning #MRPAOracy #MRPAHistory @MRPA_History

[Year5A and Miss Jones @MRPAyear5a]

Some responses to our first historical enquiry into Ancient Greece. Our question has been “What was life like in Ancient Greece and how do we know?” #MRPALearning #MRPAHistory @MRPA_History

[Year5A and Miss Jones @MRPAyear5a]

We’ve been getting stuck into our smart school sessions these past couple of weeks! Great opportunities to build our proof of listening and leading discussions! #MRPALearning #MRPAOracy

[Year5A and Miss Jones @MRPAyear5a]

5A really enjoyed their first cricket session today, they worked hard as a team and practiced batting and fielding! Thanks to Mia our coach, we look forward to more sessions🏏 @MRPASportAndPe @club_lancashire #MRPALearning #MRPAPE

[Year5A and Miss Jones @MRPAyear5a]

We have been practicing geometric patterns inspired by Ancient Greek pottery designs. We used sponge and brushes. Our skills practice will help when we come to painting our Greek pots! #MRPALearning #MRPAArt @MRPA_arts

[Year5A and Miss Jones @MRPAyear5a]

World mental health day 2025! We celebrated by wearing yellow to show that every young mind is important and that at MRPA we are there for each other! 💛💛💛 #MRPALearning #MRPAPSHE

[Year5A and Miss Jones @MRPAyear5a]

Athens or Sparta? What a debate was had in year 5 last week! We built on our knowledge of two famous city-states in Ancient Greece and split the class in half to debate which side was better and why. Great use of linguistic skills in oracy! #MRPALearning #MRPAHistory #MRPAOracy

[Year5A and Miss Jones @MRPAyear5a]

In science, in our Earth and Space unit, we investigated shadows based on the Earths orbit and rotation around the sun. We discussed how sundials are an ancient way of telling the time and help us understand more about how the Earth moves #MRPALearning #MRPAScience @MRPA_Science

[Year5A and Miss Jones @MRPAyear5a]

In art we have continued our learning of ancient Hreek pottery and have started to think about the uses and styles of Greek pottery. Our historical skills our helping our questioning when looking at artefacts.🕵️ #MRPALearning #MRPAArt #MRPAHistory @MRPA_arts @MRPA_History

[Year5A and Miss Jones @MRPAyear5a]

In our PSHE unit we have been exploring mental health and healthy lifestyles. We used a traverse to develop our physical oracy skills when discussing topics. After the traverse some summarisers agreed that we can feel conflicting emotions. #MRPALearning #MRPAOracy #MRPAPSHE
