Start of the morning activity
Maths
For our maths session- we are going to continue with our statistics work.
In this small step, children are introduced to pie charts for the
first time. Discuss with children why a pie chart is a useful way to
represent data. They should realise that a pie chart quickly and
easily shows information as part of the whole. Discuss the fact that
bar charts may show the numbers of most/least popular items
quickly, whereas pie charts show something as more/less than a
half/quarter etc. of the total.
Children first look at simple pie charts to identify the greatest/
least amounts. They then move on to using the total number
represented by a pie chart to work out what each equal part is
worth. Finally, given the value of one part, children work out the
total and/or the values of other parts of the pie chart.

What have Stiperstones been up to?
In Stiperstones we have had a very busy half term, with many Stiperstones Superstars.
Cohan was our Star of the Week for his greatly improved effort and concentration in class.
Jason was our Star of the week for his excellent History Work.
Steven was our Star of the Week for the amazing courage and bravery he showed in his swimming lessons.
Art
We started the term by completing our art unit ‘Identity’. Where we were inspired by the work of Matt , creating layered self portraits.
World Book Day
World Book Day saw the Y5’s go to Morten Hall, for an author workshop by Frank Cottrell- Boyce.
DT
In our DT unit this term, we have been studying food technology, where we needed to create a baked dish for a celebration. With the upcoming event of Easter, we decided to make Hot Cross Buns. Hot Cross Buns in the Christian religion were introduced to represent the death and resurrection of Jesus.
We started our unit by researching the history of the Hot Cross Bun. We then evaluated and tasted existing products, to help us design our own.
Once we had tasted, evaluated and designed our own Hot Cross Buns, it was time to make them!
Easter Service
The whole school conducted a beautiful Easter service at Holy Trinity Church, yesterday morning.
The service started with Mr Barnes and his choir, singing their song ‘From Now On’ from the musical ‘The Greatest Showman’- which they sang in the Oswestry Music Festival, earlier in the year; placing third.
Haughmond sang ‘Hosanna’ with Longmynd class.
Stiperstones sang ‘Were you there’ with Hawkstone class

Science- the Human Heart
In science this term, we’ve been learning out the circulatory system and the function of the heart. In one of our lessons, we had a close look at the make up of a heart by examining a lamb heart. The children found it fascinating and enjoyed being able to identify the four chambers.
