5OP Beech’s Base Change!

Good afternoon,

Please note that children in 5OP will now visit Beech’s Base on MONDAY 2ND DECEMBER instead of Wednesday 23rd October. This is due to a clash with parent’s afternoon.

I will send some reminders near the time!

Many thanks,

Mrs Ollerenshaw

5K Roald Dahl day

5K enjoyed Roald Dahl day learning about his life and completing tasks writing in his style.

Year 5 Faith day

On Thursday the school enjoyed activities based on different faiths from around the world. 5K along with children from 5P worked together on developing their understanding of how all these faiths make up our community.

Music fun in 5OP!

We have been really enjoying our music lessons so far! Out topic is ‘Africa’ and so far we’ve been learning a song called ‘Shosholoza’. It includes call and response and is the second national anthem of South Africa. The children have been fantastic with recalling information about the song – who sung it? Why did they create it? What does it mean?
Yesterday, we looked at three new terms: ostinato, mnemonics and polyrhythms. We had a go at playing our own polyrhythms using different instruments!

Well done 5OP!

Forest fun in 5OP!

Last week the children in 5OP had a brilliant time in Beech’s Base with Miss Lockwood and Miss Smith!
Here are some photos of what they got up to in the afternoon.
