Here is a link to our class page which has details of our Climate Change All Change project and a video of the children's learning throughout the Spring term!
The children have been lucky enough to see archaeologists at work next to the Priory on Lindisfarne. For more information and pictures head over to

After a rainy first start to the day, the weather has been fantastic! We have visited Whitby beach this afternoon and the children have had chance to play on the beach. After tea and an evening walk, they are now preparing for bed. See you all tomorrow morning! ☀️🌊
Morning all! The children have had a super nights sleep and are now enjoying a wonderful breakfast. Today will be our boat trip, crazy golf and beach walk back to Bamburgh. We will try and keep you updated as much as possible! 😄😄
All of Year 5 are now in York, we are currently taking part in activities at
@JorvikViking
at the centre & The Dig. Our learning is linked to our Anglo-Saxon and Viking topic
#playlearngrowtogether
We have visited Bamburgh Castle and the children have found out so much information about castle defences and the people who have lived here over the last 1000 years 🏰
@Bamburgh_Castle
We have finished our walk around Scarborough. We have visited the castle, The Grand Hotel & the Tramway amongst other places. Next stop - Whitby! 🌊

The children have had a fantastic day on Holy Island - the exact place where the Vikings invaded Britain in 793 AD. We cannot wait to get back to school to do some more work about the Anglo Saxons and Vikings.
Great start to the morning, cricket on the green before we go to Lindisfarne! We are looking forward to seeing more of their batting and fielding skills in the Summer term
The children have had a super time learning about astronomy through the ages aswell as how castles defended against enemy armies... it’s hard storming a castle!
@alnwickcastle
We’re out and about this morning as we start our trip to
@WhitbyAbbey
. The children have had a good night’s sleep & a big breakfast!
#playlearngrowtogether
We’ve had a lovely evening walk, and our supper, and now we are getting ourselves ready for bed in preparation for a lot of walking around Whitby tomorrow
#playlearngrowtogether
Thank you to
@TheDigVenturers
, the children have learned some fantastic facts about Anglo Saxons from the artefacts they were lucky enough to look at and handle. This has really brought our topic to life!
The children have made it to the exact street that Sam and Naomi visited in ‘The Night of the Red Devils’, I wonder if we find Church Street 🤔

Whitby Abbey
@EnglishHeritage
! Our conversations have been based around primary evidence of History which we can use to make judgements about the past. Year 5 are now sketching parts of the Abbey as we further our drawing skills

An amazing piece of artwork showed to us whilst delivering reports. We were super impressed at this recreation of the Mona Lisa... I think I actually prefer this to the original 🤔 🌟 🖼
A quick ice-cream stop before we carry on our journey across the beach, the children have certainly accumulated a few miles today

We have uploaded a video to the Cliff and Johnstone class pages on the school website with many pictures of the children today. The link for our website is in our bio, thank you!
A few tired faces as the children enjoy their supper! We have just returned from an evening walk. Tomorrow we are off to Scarborough 🏰

Today we have surprised the children with a Mayan Day which has been packed full with PE, Music, Writing and DT activities. Here are some photos of the children enjoying their Mayan Day. There will be a video of more pictures to follow later in the week!
Here are a few quotes from the children who are the Year 5 book club as to why they enjoy it so much:
“I really enjoy bookclub because I enjoy talking about our perspective of books. I like ‘A Kind of Spark’ because it is a relatable book and it shows real family relationships.”
Year 5 have returned to the hotel after another evening walk to the whale bones. They are now in their pyjamas and are having a hot chocolate before bed💤
The children have had their tea and they are now listening to a story about Captain James Cook at the Cook memorial statue. We will soon be having supper and getting ready for bed!
Remember to check the class pages next week for more pictures. We had a fantastic time and we are sure the children really enjoyed themselves. Please continue to check our Twitter feed for updates as to what we do in the classroom on a regular basis 😆
We really enjoyed listening to
@BooksandChokers
talk about her work. We were even lucky enough to have some of our questions answered! As part of our after-school book club, the children have been reading ‘A Kind of Spark’ so this was such a treat for them to hear from Elle! 📚
The weather has cleared up again and we are enjoying an ice cream before going back on the beach, the children have also spent some of their money at Whitby Abbey

We’ve found our way up to Scarborough Castle, we’re finding out about the keep & walking along the perimeter of the castle grounds!

We were out this morning at 9:30 and we came back at 4:00. Since then the children have taken part in a quiz, had their tea, packed for home and we've had a quick walk.
Here is a video of the activities and places we have been to today!
As we near the end of our topic, we looked today at the consequences of Deforestation. We also started to think about answering our big question: Why is the Rainforest a lifesaver?
@RainforestTrust
@RnfrstAlliance
I think we’re going to need a bigger board 🤔 Cliff Class generated some great ideas as to why a child should come to
@OrdsallSchool
. It was really hard to narrow it down to just 4 reasons as we write our persuasive text!
#teamordsall
In the town of Scarborough we have found the statue of Queen Victoria, who often wore black jewellery made from jet, which can be found in Whitby
#playlearngrowtogether
#firsthandexperiences
The children have had an afternoon with the archaeology team from
@sheffielduni
learning about Viking artefacts and writing messages in runes!
@ArchintheCity
Well done to our Year 5 children who have been remote learning today. We have had Maths, Reading, Writing and Science work completed!

Here's a picture of Cliff Class in our Microsoft Teams assembly. Yesterday was our Star of the Week assembly and today was a special assembly as we thank Mr Barber for all his hard work and we wish him a super retirement! 🎩
In Year 5 we have come up with our class messages as we unite against bullying

“I choose to be careful with others feelings”
“Treat people how you would expect to be treated”

All of the children are now in bed having had their supper. It has been a fantastic day as all Year 5 were together in one place. Here's a video with a few pictures of the children today;
