The Year 5 ‘BIG CAMP OUT’ 2026!

When is the camp?

The Camp out will run from Wednesday 8th – Friday 10th July 2026.

Where

On our very own fully enclosed school field! This will be our ‘campsite and activity base’.

Who is running the camp?

Aston Clinton School in conjunction with Take2Adventure.

What will happen during the camp?

Here is a very brief outline of what we will be doing.

Day 1: Wednesday

In the morning children will come to school with everything they need for the camp. This will be kept securely throughout the day in preparation for our camp set up. More details will follow nearer the time with specific arrangements for dropping off kit.

We will firstly meet our wonderful instructors from Take2Adventure, who will be running the whole event.  During the day, there will be a full programme of challenging team and group orientated tasks to test teamwork, communication and resilience, whilst incorporating lots of fun, and learning new skills.

After school, we will head to our school field where we will work together to set up the tents and get settled in our camp.

For the rest of the afternoon/evening we will have dinner and take part in some games (including a Tug of War). There will also be a camp fire where the children will be able to toast marshmallows and have a lovely cup of hot chocolate.

After this exhausting day, it will be time to get ready for our first night’s sleep in the tents.

Day 2: Thursday

After an early morning wakeup call the children will enjoy breakfast together and prepare their lunch. We then embark on an exciting and busy day of fun activities.

These will include;

·         pioneering

·         orienteering

·         archery

·         plus many other little games and challenges in between.

In the evening, we will have a BBQ dinner, followed by a camp fire where the children will prepare and cook a dessert/sweet treat on the fire.

Day 3: Friday

After breakfast the children will pack down the camp and then embark on another fun filled, energetic day.

Activities today will include;

·         survival bracelets

·         bushcraft

·         mini axe throwing

·         bouldering

·         Plus a range of other games/challenges

At the end of the day there will be a prize giving ceremony.

The camp will conclude at the end of the school day on Friday 10th July.

Teach force and motion with style by using experiments, free printables and resources that will help bring science concepts alive. This collection of force and motion ideas should help you cover the topics of texture, gravity, incline and some simple machines.

If you're looking for fun ideas, then this is the place to start!

1. Angle Height and Track Texture - Use basic classroom materials like books to experiment on angle height (incline) to work on developing predictions. Use the same experiment set up to change the variable of ramp texture to experiment with friction.

2. Elementary Exploration: Friction - Using rulers, a wood block and a few materials, you can create a similar experiment to above to see how students can compare what they've learned about friction using a car and texture and apply it to this situation. Using rulers will allow students to share accurate measurements for their incline. {Free download}

3. Incline Marble Races - To create some basic concepts about the way incline effects the way things move, try creating some marble races. Allow students to experiment and record their findings using simple materials and varying heights using objects like a bookshelf.

4. Forces in Action: Play - This interactive website will recreate a similar set of experiments virtually and allow students to adjust the incline and add parachutes to add drag. What concepts can students solidify using the included table based on their virtual experiments? Great for a smartboard whole group activity too.

5. Car Ramps - Here is an example of creating experiments that face multiple problems and allowing students time to come up with solutions. This is a more exploratory way of approaching it, but a good introduction to understanding more about the way things move on an incline.

6. Forces in Action: Lesson Plan - This lesson hits four objectives that includes understanding that friction (including air resistance) is a force that slows moving objects. Works beautifully along with the interactive site listed above in number 4.

7. Marshmallow Shooter - When you're discussing push and pull as forces and including measurement you'll want to include marshmallow shooters in your lesson plans. You'll end up including words like force, distance and finding ways to measure.

8. Leprechaun Balloon Races - This would be a fun experiment when trying to explore the friction of a different surface - string and explore the friction of air. What types of force can a balloon which also has air create? Can you see students getting into the force and motion of this?

9. A Slide is a Simple Machine - What school playground is complete without a slide? Break your science class outdoors to discuss and explore how a slide works like a simple machine. This will help explore the concepts that incline planes make it easier to lift things and that machines make work easier. {Free download}

10. Simple Machines: Lever - Here's another idea that break out onto the playgound to explore the concept of using simple machines to explore force and motion. Begin by exploring a see saw and then create your own levers with pencils, pennies tape and a ruler. {Free download}

11. Mouse Trap Trials - Here is a great culminating activity for students to use when wrapping up a force and motion unit. Have students create their own mouse trap! Using household "junk" see what types of fast moving creations can they create using what they've learned about motion, force and friction. {Free downloads}

12. Force and Motion (Pre/Post)Assessment - Here is a one page activity that you could use in order to see where your students are at or to give at the end of a unit to cover vocabulary and basic concepts of force and motion. {Free download}

13. Force and Motion Posters - You'll find word cards that will be great for a word wall, a display banner, a movement word reference mat and 6 types of forces posters. {Free downloads}

14. Forces in Action Worksheet - Here is a worksheet to practice naming forces like gravity, lift, pushing and pulling. You'll also be able to practice showing how forces act and students can create their own illustration examples. {Free download}

15. The Gravity Song - Who doesn't love using a song to help teach a concept. This song won't have them rappin' but it will help explore the concept of gravity and help embed some vocabulary just from listening once.

16. What is Friction - This song will remind you of what you listened to when you were in school, but it does a good job of helping lay down some basic examples of friction and vocabulary.

These are affiliate links to helpful books you'll probably want to have on hand!

17. Forces Make Things Move - This book illustrates examples of the forces all around students during a normal day. It helps give names to those forces and are easy to act out within the classroom.

18. Forces and Motion: From High-speed Jets to Wind-up Toys - This book is better suited for third grade and up, but it is a great resource with 20 activities that you can guide students through with ease to develop some basic and solid concepts.

19. And Everyone Shouted, "Pull" - A fun way to bring in a fiction piece into exploring push and pull, join with these farm animals as they venture to market. Great for elementary grades.

And I recently came across this new books that I had to add to the list!

20. Motion: Push and Pull, Fast and Slow - This books uses everyday occurrences to explain what motion is to kids. It covers inertia, gravity and friction. Kids will understand why we need seat belts - because of inertia!

I hope you can draw inspiration or use some of these ideas the next time you are teaching force and motion. Is it too corny to say something like 'May the force be with you' as you teach this concept? {ha!}

OFFICIAL NAME: Federal Republic of Brazil

FORM OF GOVERNMENT: Democratic federal republic

CAPITAL: Brasilia

POPULATION: 208,846,892

OFFICIAL LANGUAGE: Portuguese

MONEY: Real

AREA: 3,286,470 square miles (8,511,965 square kilometers)

MAJOR MOUNTAIN RANGES: Serra do Mar, Serra do Espinhaço

MAJOR RIVERS: Amazon, São Francisco, Paraná, Tocantins

Brazil is the largest country in South America and the fifth largest nation in the world. It forms an enormous triangle on the eastern side of the continent with a 4,500-mile (7,400-kilometer) coastline along the Atlantic Ocean. It has borders with every South American country except Chile and Ecuador.

The Brazilian landscape is very varied. It is most well known for its dense forests, including the Amazon, the world's largest jungle, in the north. But there are also dry grasslands (called pampas), rugged hills, pine forests, sprawling wetlands, immense plateaus, and a long coastal plain.

Northern Brazil is dominated by the Amazon River and the jungles that surround it. The Amazon is not one river but a network of many hundreds of waterways. Its total length stretches 4,250 miles (6,840 kilometers). Thousands of species live in the river, including the infamous piranha and the boto, or pink river dolphin.
Map created by National Geographic Maps

PEOPLE & CULTURE

Most Brazilians are descended from three ethnic groups: Amerindians, European settlers (mainly from Portugal), and Africans. Starting in the 19th century, waves of immigrants from Europe, the Middle East, and even Japan added to this mix. This diversity of cultures has created a rich religious, musical, and culinary culture.

Brazilians are soccer crazy, and their country has produced some of the best players. The most famous of all is Edson Arantes do Nascimento, better known as Pelé. Brazil has won the World Cup soccer finals five times, more than any other nation.

Brazil has the greatest variety of animals of any country in the world. It is home to 600 mammal species, 1,500 fish species, 1,600 bird species, and an amazing 100,000 different types of insects. Brazil's jungles are home to most of its animal life, but many unique species also live in the pampas and semidesert regions.

In the central-western part of Brazil sits a flat, swampy area called the Pantanal. This patchwork of flooded lagoons and small islands is the world's largest wetland. Here live giant anacondas, huge guinea pig relatives called capybaras, and fierce South American alligators called caimans.

For thousands of years, people have been exploiting the jungles of Brazil. But since Europeans arrived about five centuries ago, forest destruction has been rampant. Most of Brazil's Atlantic rain forest is now gone, and huge tracts of the Amazon are disappearing every year. The government has established many national parks and refuges, but they only cover about 7 percent of the country.

GOVERNMENT & ECONOMY

Brazil is a federal republic with a president, a National Congress, and a judiciary. From 1888 until recently, the country struggled with democracy. But in 1985, the military government was peacefully removed, and by 1995, Brazil's politics and economy had become fairly stable.

Brazil has many different soils and climates, so it can produce a great variety of crops. Its agricultural exports include sugarcane, latex, coffee, cocoa beans, cotton, soybeans, rice, and tropical fruits.

Brazil is also South America's most industrial nation, producing chemicals, steel, aircraft, and cars.

Until recently, scientists thought Brazil was first settled by Asians about 10,000 years ago. But new evidence shows there were people living there at least 32,000 years ago. Some experts think they may have arrived from islands in the Pacific Ocean.

Brazil was added to the map of the world during the great European explorations in the late 15th century led by Portugal and Spain. When Europeans first reached the coast of Brazil, the country was home to about 30 million indigenous people, or Amerindians. Today, only about 300,000 remain, living primarily in Brazil's remotest places.

Portugal established its first colony in Brazil in 1530. Colonists created sugarcane plantations along the coast and sent diamonds and gold back to Europe. Soon, people from West Africa were brought to Brazil to work as slaves. The discovery of large inland gold reserves brought thousands of people from the coasts and as far away as Europe to the interior of the country.

In 1789, Brazilians tried to kick out their Portuguese rulers. The rebellion was soon put down, but it started a movement toward independence. By 1822, Brazil was a sovereign nation. Kings of Portuguese blood ruled until 1888, when military leaders and landowners expelled the king, and Brazil became a federal republic.

Children in year 5 are expected to read at least 3 times per week for at least 20 minutes and then fill in their reading record. We have recently launched the Miles of Magic Reading Challenge which links to the 'Harry Potter' theme in both classes.

We love hearing about what books children are reading at home. Once the children have finished a book, we'd love to know what they liked about it and whether they would recommend it to others. Maybe you could write a book review!

There are lots of ways you can help your Year 4 child with grammar and punctuation. Here are our top ideas.

1. Read to your child

Although your child will probably be able to read independently now, reading aloud to your child is still very important for their education, especially with books they can't yet read on their own.

Listening to a story develops reading skills, builds vocabulary and broadens general knowledge. It also helps to support your child's writing skills and understanding of grammar and punctuation. While children will learn about how language works from speaking and listening, the type of language we use in writing is often different from that in speech, so listening to text can model different patterns of language.

When you are reading together, look at how authors use different sentence types for effect:

Simple sentences containing one clause (for example, 'Sam picked up the spoon.').

Short commands (for example, 'Give me the spoon, Sam!').

Compound sentences (for example, 'Sam picked up the spoon and she ran away excitedly.').

Sentences with a subordinate clause (for example, 'With great excitement, Sam picked up the spoon.').

Talk about different types of punctuation as well, such as question marks, exclamation marks, commas, and so on. Can your child identify ellipses? See how these are used to ramp up tension or to get the reader thinking.

You can find lots of free reads for your child on the Oxford Owl eBook library.

2. Encourage reading

Making time to hear your child read, even when they can read independently, can be really valuable. By frequently seeing words in print, they will have the opportunity to see how the punctuation and grammar are used to share meaning.

When you read, occasionally look at the punctuation and talk about what it is telling the reader to do. For example, you could show your child how a question mark tells you to raise your voice at the end of the sentence to indicate a question being asked.

Explore how you can show the 'feeling' behind an exclamation mark. Are the characters shouting? Has something unexpected happened? Has something gone wrong?

3. Give your child opportunities to write

Writing at home can be a great way of practising writing, including using grammar and punctuation to create particular effects. Here are some ideas to encourage regular writing:

Create a story about a space adventurer with strange planetary systems to explore. Every week or month, your child could write about a new chapter about a different planet. Before long, the chapters will have built into a book they can be really proud of.

Write an A-to-Z. It could be based on anything your child is interested in - animals, space, dinosaurs, fairies, even their favourite TV programme. A page for each letter of the alphabet gives you 26 short pieces of writing spread over the year that build into one big project.

Produce a version of a book for a younger child. For example, they could writeThe Rhino Who Came to Tea or The Very Hungry Angler Fish. Books with a distinctive format such as The Day the Crayons Quit or The Last Polar Bears are perfect for this.

Write the book of a film or TV programme. If children have watched something they've really enjoyed, they could try and tell the same story in writing. Watching the story on screen can give them a useful frame to hang their own writing on.

While writing using a pen and pencil is useful practice, writing on the computer counts too. You might want to turn the spelling and grammar check off to help children to learn to confidently use their own knowledge. The grammar check can be wrong, too, so this can be confusing for children.

4. Help your child learn key grammatical ideas

Activity sheets and books can help your child get to grips with particular points of grammar and punctuation. Take a look at our grammar activity books for some practical ideas.

5. Play games

Playing games can help children to learn about grammar and punctuation in an enjoyable way. Watch grammar expert Charlotte Raby's 'How can I help my child with grammar, punctuation and spelling?' video playlist to see some quick and easy games in action:

Apostrophe '

An apostrophe can be used to show when a word has been made shorter by dropping one or more letters. This is called a contraction. You usually use contractions in informal writing or when writing direct speech.

I am = I'm

did not = didn't

could not = couldn't

we are = we're

you have = you've

she will/she shall = she'll

An apostrophe can also show ownership or possession. This is called a possessive apostrophe. Possessive apostrophes show that something belongs to, or is for, someone or something. Often, a possessive apostrophe is used with a possessive s.

If a singular word doesn't end in -s, add 's:

If a singular word ends in -s, add either 's or just ':

If a singular word ends in -ss, still add 's:

If a plural ends in -s, just add ':

The girls ' bags; the visitors ' car park; the calves ' horns.

If a plural doesn't end in -s, add 's:

Protective Behaviours is a very important part of our PSHE curriculum and we will continue to follow this programme in Year 5. We will be encouraging children to recognise their Early Warning Signs and identify a network of support they can turn to early on in the Autumn term. This will then be revisited throughout the year. It is really important that the children know that there is nothing too small or too big to talk about and that they feel there are trusted adults in school they can turn to. We also have worry monsters in each classroom which children can use if they feel anxious or upset and would prefer to write a note rather than talk about something straight away.

# data[].attributes.body
We expect the children to demonstrate our school values.  We model our values and teach the children to follow the 4 R's: Aspire - be ready to learn; Care - be respectful; Succeed - regulate and repair.  In Year 5, we continue to explore and develop these values in order to help the children achieve their potential and be safe and happy in their learning.

# data[].attributes.body
Our aim is to positively praise children who are following our school values. Every classroom has a recognition board where we share each other's successes.
We recognise this in a variety of ways:

Eye contact and a smile

A dojo point

Stickers

Recognition certificates

Post it notes with a message

1. Reading
2. TTRS
3. My Maths

4.Spellings

1. As in previous year groups, we expect all pupils to read to an adult at least 3 times each week. Books can be changed on any day so as soon as your child has finished reading their book, they can bring it into school and change it for a book from the class library or on Year 5's library day.

2.We expect all children in Year 5 to go on TTRS (Times Table Rock Stars) for 15 minutes, 3 times a week. Fluency in timetables is essential in supporting many areas of maths.

3. Starting from the Spring Term, every week on Thursday, we will set the children's maths homework on Mymaths. There will be a lesson to watch if you are stuck and you will have the opportunity to have another go if you have made a mistake.

4. Spellings will be set weekly and can be found on the Padlet.

The children's log ins can be found in the front of their reading record.
