Weekly Class Updates

Cassiobury Park River Trip

Year 5 have taken part in a trip to Cassiobury Park to learn more about rivers, building on what they have learnt in their geography topic. They participated in experiments there where they were measuring the depth of the river at different points and used their map skills to take part in a scavenger hunt.

Retreat Day

Maths- Show Racism the Red Card

Year 5 Lisbon visited Watford Football Club to take part in their ‘Show Racism the Red Card’ project. We had a lovely day which included a tour of the stadium, a game workshop and a talk from a special guest, England cricketer Monty Panesar.

History- Mayans

Science- Filtering Systems

In Year 5 we have been learning about separating mixtures. The children have created their own filtering systems. They poured in dirty water and saw how the water was cleaned when it passed through.

An afternoon with our buddies!

Year 5 have become ‘buddies’ with Reception classes this year and were lucky enough to spend the afternoon playing and supporting the new Reception children at the beginning of the school year. They had such fun drawing, building, playing in the role play area and talking to each other. We will be spending more time together throughout the year and making sure that the younger children have settled into St Anthony’s.
