Think I've sorted it!
Below is the whole news broadcast for 6pm 21st March 2013 on Star Radio.
You need to listen from about 40 seconds.
Radio News
The news was read by a professional journalist but Year 5 wrote the "package", they interviewed Nicholas and Mia as well as choosing the backing track and audio of Sir Ranulph Fiennes
All children worked hard and enjoyed the day.
The next step will be for us to look at producing our own radio programme using various editing software!!

The Coldest Journey and New Friends
Through the Coldest Journey website we have made contact with a school in Devon - Class 3 at Otterton Primary School who are Year 4 and Year 5 children.
Another classroom in another part of the country changed into the Antarctic - they also have a tent, snow and they have blue jumpers and cardigans just like us!!!!
Hopefully over the next few months we will exchange work, share ideas and learn about different parts of the country.
So Class 3 if you are looking at our blog welcome, you will see that we do lots of exciting things as well as all the literacy, numeracy, science and all the other things that you have to do in school.
We look forward to getting to know our new friends .

The News
Today Y5 spent the day learning how a news report is put together for a radio programme. They worked with Star Radio learning all the tricks of the trade.
Although only a few clips of the children's voices appear, they worked together to write the script for the journalist Louise to read on the evening news slots.
The children also interviewed Mia and Nicholas about their trip to London, they talked about how excited that they are that the Coldest Journey Adventure had begun and they even chose the music for the backing track to our news item.
Below are a selection of photos of the day and the full broadcast will be poster here soon

The Adventures of Mary Mouse
http://www.thecoldestjourney.org/home/blog/2013/03/12/mary-mouse-video/
The Great Adventure starts this week - watch out for our news report at the end of the week.
Show Racism the Red Card
Last Friday, after an exciting assembly of 50 years of music and dance, the Year 5 spent the rest of the day looking at the issues around racism. The children took part in various workshops including a PE session run by Dean a former professional football player. Some lucky children also were drawn out of the hat to receive tickets to see Sunderland play football on Sunday.
Warm Up
Game on
Remember the 1970's?
The children enjoyed learning all about the 1970's last week. They laughed at the fashion, recognised some of the music, wished sweets still cost the same as in the 1970's and puzzled over some of the children's TV programmes. Why did children get cabbages as prizes?

A reminder and an invite
Just to remind all children to bring boxes, tubes etc into school next week so that we can design and make our musical instruments from recycled material.
Next Friday there will be a special assembly celebrating 50 years of the school, through music and costumes from those decades. Y5 and Y6 will demonstrate the 1970's. The children can dress for the occasion - Mrs Hargreaves already has her costume in school - I just need to find the wig!
Parents can also join in the fun and dress up as well.
Photos will be posted next week.

Science in Action
This week the children spent most of the day investigating "Light".
Working in pairs they developed a fair test in order to carry out investigations.
Creating and measuring shadows.
The children are not in normal school uniform - it was World Book Day.

Looking Good!
For those who have not been into our classroom recently we almost back to normal now. We are still following The Coldest Journey and some of our displays show this work.
The children wrote letters this week to Sir Ran inviting him into school. They have been sent by recorded delivery to the Coldest Journey HQ in London - just to make sure they get there!
On the 21st March - the day the "Team" starts their epic journey across the Antarctic, the children will be working with Star Radio to make a radio broadcast about events. It will of course be posted here for you all to hear.

Mary Mouse
We were saddened to hear that Sir Ranulph Fiennes could no longer continue with his trek across Antarctica. He had suffered from frostbite during training.
The link below show his farewell to his team still on the ice - all 6 of them. Watch the clip below carefully and see who you can spot.
We will still follow their journey.
Memories...
This week as part of our RE topic we have been sharing memories.
The children have painted panels with fabric paints for a patchwork quilt. There was only one disaster!
Back to normal
As you can see we are back to normal in Y5. Just the tent to go back up next week.
The children produced some lovely projects and supporting models and they are all on display. The children are keen to read each others work.
The children all enjoyed working on their Space Project, they asked if they could have homework - another project! After some discussion between themselves they asked to be able to choose their own topic for a project but they wanted a checklist similar to those in their literacy books.
The children helped to produce a checklist for their work and a blank booklet went home together with a check list on Friday. The children can produce their information in any format. The projects are due in the Monday after the Easter holidays.
