The children have also studied the effects of flooding on towns, villages and people’s lives. They have also looked at the impact of pollution on our rivers.** **For their learning journal objective, the children had to research a river from around the world. Lucas and Nuala went a step further and built their chosen river. Amazing work!** **Science – Materials and their Properties** **We have been sorting different materials, using a Venn diagram, into their different properties such as magnetic, flexible, hard and soft.** **September 2024 - Outdoor Learning** **Autumn is here! We are out and about in our garden digging up the onions and creating some nature art.** **Investigating Friction** **The children investigated the force of friction and tested different surface materials to see how far a car would travel. They then recorded their results and wrote a conclusion to say what they learnt.** **Clay Tiles** **The children had a visit from an art teacher who works at Cardinal Allen High School. She helped the children design and make a tile with a mythical creature to link in to their history unit of Ancient Greeks.** **Abbeystead Class Visit** **Year 5 visited Abbeystead country estate near Lancaster and next to the River Wyre. They took part in a range of activities to teach them about the management of the countryside. Activities included:** - **Dissecting an owl pellet** - **Multi-choice games on plants and animals** - **Water life-saving skills with the fire service** - **Predators and prey with the British Shooting and Conservation Organisation** - **Outdoor learning in the woods** **10 Minute Art** **Every Monday and Friday morning, when the children come into class, we do 10 minutes of art. This helps the children to focus and have a calm start to the day as well as improving their art skills. Take a look!** **St Bernadette’s Feast Day** **We celebrated St Bernadette’s Feast Day by learning more about her life and how she used the gifts of the Holy Spirit in her life. We were treated to an extra play and ice-cream – what a treat!** **Dissecting Daffodils** **In science, children have been learning about the different parts of flowers and how they reproduce through pollination and fertilisation.** **Christmas Lunch** **Merry Christmas everyone!** **Elf Run** **Running and dodging the obstacles for a wonderful cause – well done Year 5!** | Useful websites – click the icons to be redirected to the websites | |---| | [![](https://www.st-bernadette.blackpool.sch.uk/images/pages/8214b77dda361591fd1a5552b84a7da3.png)](https://www.purplemash.com/sch/stbernadettesfy2) | [![](https://www.st-bernadette.blackpool.sch.uk/images/pages/c62b7f0780bfb9e5d293a5ecb03f9db1.png)](https://play.ttrockstars.com/auth/school/student/61660) | [![](https://www.st-bernadette.blackpool.sch.uk/images/pages/4923e68ba0cf36684615758433a5d2b7.jpg)](https://go.educationcity.com/?_ga=2.69647636.50927001.1619942248-1471187235.1612730528) | | [![](https://www.st-bernadette.blackpool.sch.uk/images/pages/cdbaa0b9a63a92c931fee2f2eaf2a2db.jpg)](https://spellingframe.co.uk/) | [![](https://www.st-bernadette.blackpool.sch.uk/images/pages/cd9132d2be302ef8ea469837eb7a06a4.jpg)](https://mathsframe.co.uk/) | ![St Bernadette's Catholic Primary School](https://files.schudio.com/stbernadette/images/icon/St-Bernadettes-footer-logo.png) ### St Bernadette's Catholic Primary School Devonshire Road Bispham Blackpool Lancashire FY2 0AJ 01253 353641 (Mrs Wells) ### Useful Links: - [Term Dates](https://www.st-bernadette.blackpool.sch.uk/termdates) - [Parent Pay](https://www.parentpaygroup.com/) - [Calendar](https://www.st-bernadette.blackpool.sch.uk/calendar) - [Contact Us](https://www.st-bernadette.blackpool.sch.uk/contact) ### Social Media - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100086985216545) ### Translation [![Blessed Edward Bamber Catholic MAT](https://files.schudio.com/stbernadette/images/logo/BEBCMAT-white.png)](https://bebcmat.co.uk) © Copyright 2012–2026 St Bernadette's Catholic Primary School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://www.st-bernadette.blackpool.sch.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
