Welcome to Ruby Class
Year 5
Friday 18th October
Do the Palm oil Kong-a! What an amazing day at Chester Zoo! Ruby class loved every minute, learning lots about the animals, and going to see the Orangutans that we have been protecting through our Palm Oil Challenge. Topped off with some brilliant action from the two young elephants, playing in the waterfall and going for a swim, as the sun came out.
Thursday 3rd October
Our Year 5 boys took part in a football tournament along with a number of schools. Not only did they play really well, but they were also awarded the respect certificate! Every school voted for a team they thought were the most Respectful and our boys did Netherton Moss very proud and were voted by the other children as the most Respectful. Well done boys on showing off our core school values.

Today we looked at how to keep ourselves and others safe on the internet. We played Band Runner on the internet safety website ThinkYouKnow. It’s a fun game that also tests the children’s knowledge of internet safety. Have a go with your child!

We had our first session from our lovely visitor from Chester Zoo today. We are beginning to understand what Palm oil is and how it affects the environment and the animals that live in the places it is grown. We understand we need Palm oil for lots of everyday objects but we need to make it sustainably. Look out for products with the sustainable Palm oil logo on. Do the #palmoilkonga
Clarinets continue!

We have been lucky enough to have visitors from Active Sefton come to talk to us about how to keep healthy. We've really enjoyed learning about how to keep our bodies in the best of shape and the games we can play doing it!
Friday 17th May
Here in Ruby class we understand how important exercise is to our mind and body which is why we take part in the Daily Mile. Today we joined other year 5 classes from around the area and completed our mile together. We all had a great time, except for Mr Johnson, who got the biggest blister he’s ever seen........he hasn’t mentioned it once though just that, that might be the reason the children beat him. On a serious note, well done to everyone who took part, I can honestly say everybody had a huge smile on their face and it has sparked an interest in a running club that will be happening after half term.

Did someone say ‘Veggie Fajitas’?
We followed the recipe and listened to safety instructions, with the results being a delicious and very healthy meal. It was great to be able to eat what we cooked and we may have even slipped a few spicy jalapeños into Mr Johnson’s! 
It was so much fun!
This half term in art we have been looking at Jean Michel Basquiat.
We have been using his techniques to develop a Basquiat style and experimented with colour and lines to produce some fabulous and unique artwork.
Monday 29th April
Today we had some special guests joining us brought in by the Mobile Zoo ‘Boo’s Zoo 2 You’.
We got to find out all about the exotic animals, from where they lived in the wild, to what they eat at home. We learnt that snakes aren’t slimey and skunks don’t always smell (thank goodness!).
A wonderful experience for all involved.

In the afternoon we went to the Philharmonic Hall, to listen to their famous orchestra performing their ‘British Values’ concert. We listened to lots of different pieces of music from composers all around the world. To finish, we sang ‘This Is Our Song’ along with the orchestra, using the sign language we have been practising over the past few weeks. All of the staff were very proud of the children’s effort, well done guys!
Wednesday 5th March 2019
Today we visited the ‘Western Approaches’ museum, where we saw the super secret site that the ‘Battle of the Atlantic’ was won. We tested out our own coding and decoding skills, used morse code and wrote each other secret messages. It was a brilliant morning!
Friday 15th February
On a sunny winter morning, a group of Year 5 and 6 children, went to the Sefton Swimming Gala at Crosby Leisure Centre. They were a credit to the school with their effort and behaviour, always striving to do their best. A special mention goes to the 4 boys who reached the Freestyle Relay Final, a very good effort indeed.
