Classroom Learning

Maths Reasoning Activities

Year 5 enjoyed an engaging maths problem-solving session where they worked collaboratively to tackle a range of exciting challenges and games. Using teamwork, reasoning and critical thinking skills, they discussed strategies, tested ideas and supported one another to find solutions. These activities encouraged a positive approach to problem-solving, making maths both fun and rewarding for everyone involved.

Eastside x Stratford Junction Workshop

The Year 5 children took part in an exciting and imaginative workshop for Eastside x Stratford Junction, where they explored their ideas for a unique community bus project. The children worked both collaboratively and independently to create vibrant vision boards filled with colours, themes, drawings and inspiration that reflect their creativity and the local community. These vision boards will be used by a professional street artist to help design and decorate a real bus, bringing the children’s ideas to life on a much larger scale. The project will end with a special visit where the children will see their transformed bus in person, celebrating their contribution to a colourful piece of public art. 

Autism Awareness Day

Year 5 had lots of fun on Autism Awareness Day. They were enthusiastic in dressing up in bright colours (which represented the spectrum). During the afternoon, they participated in two separate activities. They designed a magnet which highlighted autism and promoted awareness and they also created their very own sensory toy, using a balloon and some dough.
