Today we were introduced to the game of Netball during our PE lesson!
We learned some rules such as
there are 7 players in a team
you cannot travel with the ball
when defending you must stand 3 feet away from your opponents
players cannot hold the ball for more than 3 seconds and lots more!
We also revised some FUNDAMENTAL MOVEMENT SKILLS - throwing and catching. We were reminded to spread out our fingers when using the chest pass so we have better control over the ball and also the importance of stance to improve our balance! We are looking forward to more lssons to improve our skills and progressing onto playing matches!
We LOVE our new Collins Guided Reading Scheme!!!

SAFER INTERNET DAY 2015!
Yesterday Mrs Taylor held an assembly to remind us how we can be safe online. We watched a short video clip, PowerPoint presentation and discussed our SMART class posters.
In class today we had great fun watching SID TV 2015 as well as make up a recipe for 'Let's Create a Better Internet Together' as this helped us revise the genre, Instructions! Have a look at some of our photos!
Today we learned about a new genre, Instructions – both written and spoken.
We identified key characteristics of written instructions :-
Title
List of items needed
Imperative verbs
Time connectives
Diagrams
Numbered and short sentences
The key characteristics of spoken instructions were highlighted in our Activity-Based Learning back-to-back activity. Our spoken instructions need to be:-

We have been busy completing our ICT tasks in our state-of-the-art computer suite!

Today we started a group of volleyball lessons taken by Callum who coaches volleyball in the Craigavon region. He asked us to remember 3 key points when playing volleyball. They are:
we need to make a triangle with our both hands but NOT touching
During Maths Week in Y5T/D we held a competitive quiz against the other Year 5 classes - it was brilliant! We all got prepared - we designed banners and indeed a 'Haka' to perform to our competitors! At times, the competition was so tight that it had to go 'sudden death'. In the end Mrs McClimond's class won and our class came 2nd - well done Y5S!
In Year 5T/D we love to participate in group work!
We always remember to:

On task all the time
