Year 5 are continuing our new History of the ‘The Tudors’ and will be using the timelines we created in our last lesson. We plotted different events from history chronologically on a timeline and added some key events during the Tudor period. #TeamStPhilips @StPhilipCEAP

To introduce our new science topic on forces, Year 5 completed a fair test to see if the surface area of a piece of paper would affect the time it takes to fall to the ground. They discovered that as surface area decreases, gravity increases! #teamstphilips @StPhilipCEAP

Year 5 were transported to the Tudor era to start our new history topic today! To begin, they plotted different events through history chronologically on a timeline, including historical events relating to the Tudors such as the War of the Roses #teamstphilips @StPhilipCEAP

In Spanish, Year 5 were asking politely for items and how much they were. They loved acting out Christmas shopping! #teamstphilips @StPhilipCEAP #StPhilipsSpanishY5

Year 5 have been exploring how to use the technique of shading using different sketching pencils and colour matching with paint to attempt to emulate the work of Beatriz Milhazes in our art lessons 🎨 #teamstphilips @StPhilipCEAP #stphilipsartY5

Happy #ChildrenInNeed Day! We’ve had spotacular time in school today! #teamstphilips @StPhilipCEAP

[St Philips Year 5 - Miss Stewart @StPhilipsY5A]

We have had such a creative morning with @thelowry learning how to collage like Beatriz Milhazes - the artist we are studying this half term. Year 5 had to be controlled and methodical in their decision making to create an abstract collage as a team @StPhilipCEAP #teamstphilips

How exciting that two children shared their religions with us! After learning about the Qur’an in RE, one child brought hers in and even read some to us! Also, as it is Diwali today, one child shared her traditions and how she is celebrating 🕯️#teamstphilips @StPhilipCEAP

This morning was out of this world! We were so lucky to welcome Mr Copperwheat (an astronomers at @LJMU) to teach us about our Solar System and planets! 🪐🌍 #teamstphilips #stphilipsscienceY5 @StPhilipCEAP

It’s Friday, so it’s got to be France-themed Blooket! The children loved battling against their friends to answer questions about France and French culture! @PlayBlooket #teamstphilips @StPhilipCEAP #EuropeanDayofLanguageandSport

Bienvenue au café français! 🇫🇷 We thoroughly enjoyed trying French crepes! #teamstphilips @StPhilipCEAP #EuropeanDayofLanguageandSport

Year 5 have started by learning the French numbers from 1 - 10! We even made connections between French and Spanish numbers! #teamstphilips @StPhilipCEAP #EuropeanDayofLanguageandSport

Happy European Day of Languages and Sport! We are so excited to immerse ourselves in the culture of France 🇫🇷 #teamstphilips @StPhilipCEAP #EuropeanDayofLanguageandSport

Yesterday, we created our Mayan quilt squares using running, back and blanket stitch. The designs were so intricate and their concentration was infectious! Some children went to explain the process to @StPhilipsY5C ahead of creating their own today @StPhilipCEAP #teamstphilips

Year 5 have really enjoyed starting our new reading book and discovering it’s by the same author as our English book - and tells the same story! We’ve been making comparisons between the two texts whilst learning about these extraordinary women! 📖 #teamstphilips @stphilipceap

Last week, we were lucky enough to interview Reverend Sarah about how she uses the Bible and what her favourite parts are #teamstphilips @StPhilipCEAP #stphilipsREY5
