Welcome to Year 5's Class Page! We hope you enjoy looking at all the interesting activities that we have been getting up to this year.

Autumn Term

In this Maths lesson, we explored square and cube numbers. We used multi-link cubes to physically make different square and cube numbers and look at their shape once created. We then applied this knowledge to help us solve questions and problems related to these facts.

Milking Bank enjoyed completing the ‘Healthy Me’ marathon. On this day, all children in years Reception to Year 6, collectively worked together to cover the same distance as a marathon through a carousel of activities. These included running the fun active mile, jumping through an inflatable assault course, line dancing and cycling on a smoothie bike. Well done to all those who took part and a big thank you to all those who donated money.

Moving on from our science lesson last week, we conducted further experiments in class to see the effects of air resistance. This time, we raced 3 separate parachutes at the same time to see which parachute had the greatest impact.

In Science this week, we looked at how moving objects are slowed down by parachutes due to wind resistance. We tested a small, medium and large parachute to see which had the greatest effect. A big thank you to Mrs. Sangha who dropped the parachutes for us!
