Year 5 have become teachers over the last 2 days! In preparation for our visit to the beach next week, they were tasked with researching and preparing a lesson for one of the classes in the school, to teach them about the importance of sunscreen. Each group visited their class armed with a PowerPoint slideshow, an activity for the class, and an extension task if needed. The biggest message that came across was to look out for the star rating for the UVA protection, often the expensive brands don’t have the highest ratings. All the children loved teaching and being taught by the Year 5s. Bendegedig pawb!

Year 5 were extremely lucky to have a visit from Ospreys and Wales 7s player, Phil Jones this morning.

We spent 20 minutes questioning Phil and used the Green Screen to transport him to the Liberty Stadium. Each of the children then had a photo with Phil, before teaching him to floss!

After studying probability towards the end of last week, Year 5 put their skills to the test this morning with some real life probability scenarios. Each child started with a virtual £10 and placed bets across 4 different horse and greyhound races. We discussed the probability of winning in each race and it soon became clear that we will probably lose if we place a bet!

On Friday afternoon, Year 5 were tasked with researching the “Tree Octopus”. We saw that it was endangered as people were taking them out of the rainforest and wearing them as hats! Despite a few confused faces, they began to make their campaign posters to save the Tree Octopus. After twenty minutes, I told them to google the Tree Octopus and they could see by checking the second website down that it was a hoax! They realised that it is important to check multiple sources before we believe everything we read on the Internet!
