Year 5 Speech Finals

In Year 5 we had to come up with speeches in hopes of getting into the speech finals and win the year 5 Speech Competition and be awarded the Year 5 Speech Cup. The results were very close together and there could easily have been 16 boys in the finals but only 8 were allowed through from each class. The finalists were Toby Marks, Charlie Plimmer, Max Abbot, Josh Kemp-Wimp, William Smith, Jim Lockwood, Kyle Foo and Jacob Edginton.  The standard of speeches was extremely high and it was a very difficult decision for our judge (Charlotte Gendall) to choose 3 people for 3^rd, 2nd and 1^st place. So it was not surprising that she actually ended up chosing 4 people, as two people tied 3^rd place. Jacob Edginton, talking about ‘Snorkelling’ and Jim Lockwood on ‘Thrill Rides’ came 3^rd equal, Josh Kemp-Wimp who explored ‘Living in Space’ came 2^nd and Toby Marks, with his speech on ‘Sensational Speeches’ came 1^st. This was a very good effort from everybody and congratulations to all our finalists.

Bird Feeders - Design Technology

In 5S we have been given a topic to work on which is called Consumer Marketing. Part of this unit is to look at how products evolve from an idea, to a design, to be constructed and finally evaluated on its performance. We have put this process into action, by designing and constructing bird feeders and presenting them to the class.

Mrs Stevens will mark us on our bird feeders and I’m sure that they will be good marks! We have all thoroughly enjoyed our making and designing of our bird feeders. Check out the photos of us with our bird feeders in our photo gallery!
