This week, as part of our Maths week celebrations, Year 5 welcomed the Problem-Solving Company who set us a few Maths challenges, including the Daisy Chain, the Tower of Hanoi and Pentominoes. We really enjoyed how challenging the games were and also how much we had to rely on good teamwork to succeed!
History Off The Page
As part of this term’s topic, year 5 have taken part in a Greek History Off The Page day. Children participated in different activities linked to the topic such as painting their names in Greek lettering, making medicines and olive oil lamps, soap carving and performing as part of the blessing for Goddess Athena at her temple. They even performed a tragedy and comedy in the style of the Ancient Greeks which was very entertaining.

On Wednesday 5th February, year 5 went to the UEL sports dock to take part in a sports programme which aims to use physical activity, sports and sports scholar role models, to raise aspirations within young people within East London and to inspire individuals to be healthy and physically active.
Once the programme was over we got to watch a basketball game, UEL vs Queen Mary.
On Friday 14th February, Year 5 were lucky enough to visit the world-famous Globe Theatre to take part in a workshop on Romeo and Juliet. We even got to go up on the stage and recite a few lines!
