Welcome to Year 5 Spring Term 24-25
Health and Well-being. Yoga in Year 5
In PSHE this week we have been talking about things that cause us stress or worry. Looking after our mental health and well-being is very important and we talked about some of the different ways we can deal with stress and worry. We tried some yoga and used Cosmic Kids Yoga to show us some of the moves we can use.
Children's Mental Health Week
For Children's Mental Health Week, Year 5 enjoyed creating their own 'Islands of Personality' to represent what is important to them and what makes them unique. We also explored how changes within these areas can impact our emotions. As a bit of fun at the end of our lesson, we played a game of bingo to explore the ways our personalities and emotions varied between one another and to celebrate our individuality.
P.E. Archery
In our P.E. lesson this week, we have enjoyed archery. We had to use our coordination to hit the target.
Safer Internet Day
The theme for Safer Internet Day 2025 is 'Too good to be true protecting yourself and others from scams online'. In Year 5 we started the day by watching a live lesson by BBC Bitesize. We learned how to spot a scam and about phishing. Using the word 'scammed' we were shown what to look out for:
Sounds too good to be true.
Contact you weren't expecting.
Asks for personal information.
Money or trade request.
Mistakes in spelling or grammar.
Extra urgency.
Dodgy source.
After watching the lesson, we designed a poster of top tips to avoid being scammed.
In the afternoon, we learned about fake news, generative AI and how to spot 'fakes'. We discussed some scenarios and what we would do before creating our own 'mock scam'.

Chinese New Year
In Year 5 we celebrated Chinese New Year. After an assembly on the traditions of Chinese New Year, we became artists and completed some Chinese paintings. We then really enjoyed preparing, making and tasting some vegetable spring rolls! They were delicious.
