Football team try-outs

On Tuesday 28th of September year 5 and 6 tried out for the football team. All the boys in year 6 wanted to try and all the boys in year 5 wanted to have a go, too. So, to be fair it was decided that the year 6 boys will be on the team this year and the year 5’s will wait until next year.
There were only 10 spaces so trying out was really competitive. There was a girls team and there were also only 10 spaces so they had to try out their best. There were a lot of schools for the boys to play against but unfortunately, the girls well... there was not as many because many schools don’t have girls’ teams. So, 10 boys from year 6 and 10 girls from year 5 and 6 were chosen for the one, the only, Avonmore Primary football team.
On the 8th October the year 6 boys have a football match against Melcombe Primary. Who knows? It might be good or bad. I’m definitely keeping my fingers crossed!

Last week of term.

It is the last week of term and everything is being prepared for next year. All of the teachers are moving classes except for one. Teachers are working hard to clean up the classrooms. We are having a really fun week and we can’t wait for our disco tomorrow. Yr six are very sad as they are leaving this school to go to secondary school. Have a great summer holiday and please watch our video. Please keep yourself safe.

Sports Week Video

The whole school made an obstacle course to try out for sports week. For this task, Year 5 first got into groups and chose their equipment then they went to the KS2 playground and planned it out. They first drew it down on a piece of paper then the teacher put all of their ideas together then they swapped groups and tried each others different activities out. And in the morning they tried it out together. They all enjoyed it except some of them got confused. They used lots of quoits, hoops, cones, skipping ropes, balls, tennis balls, beanbags and flat cones. For the first activity, they had to throw a beanbag in a hoop and then jump into it. When they got to the last hoop they had to throw quoits onto cones then they had three hoops. After, they had to get a tennis ball into all of the hoops and then had to throw three quoits into a hoop. Next, they had to dribble a ball round the flat cones and then throw it into a up-side down flat cone. For the next activity, they had to skip ten times and dribble a ball through the cones and they had to shoot it into a hoop. For the last activity, the class had to dribble a ball with a hockey stick through the cones and get three beanbags and score them into each hoop. As a class they really enjoyed it.

Y5 trip to British Museum

On the 17Th June 2010 Year 5 went on a trip to the British museum . First we went downstairs and a lady talked to us about mummification. Then we filled in a little booklet about ancient Egyptian objects that were in the museum. We started on the 1st floor where all the statues were. Then we moved upstairs where all the Ancient Egyptian mummies were. We saw animal mummies, human mummies and baby mummies. The animal mummies were cat, birds, crocodiles, snakes and bulls. Year 5 enjoyed it so much.

Year 5’s last topic was about Mexico and we made maracas. First we had to design our maracas in our art books. Secondly we had to get a balloon and put wet tissue paper around it then we had to do three layers of papier mache and let it dry over half term. Then we sawed twenty five cm of a stick for the handle and put our names on it. Then we had to cut it open with a Stanley knife and put some different seeds in to make the sound. Some were too thin so they had to make it thicker. Then we painted it with one layer of paint for the background and let it dry. Finally we painted our design on to the maracas and let it dry.

Ancient Greek Day

Yesterday,Year 6 had an ancient Greek day. We had to dress up as ancient Greek people. Also the year 6 teachers had to dress up. We learned how to write in Latin and we drew pictures from ancient Greek stories. After,we drew our pictures we went over them using charcoal so it looks Greek. The class had cooked some Greek food so at the end of the day we got to try our food.

We made a berry cheesecake, Greek salad, houmous, tzatziki, dolmades and more.

Everyone seemed to enjoy the Greek food and it was a wonderful day.
