Hello everyone, 

I hope you’ve all had a lovely bank holiday.

Year 5 thoroughly enjoyed their session with Adam Bushnell this week. We took part in a variety of activities that expanded on our current English topic about mythical creatures. We explored artefacts, dressed up Jet the Tortoise, watched videos and uplevelled our own mythical creatures with different body parts and unusual special powers. After this, we created some fantastic descriptions about them and shared them with each other. All of this work will help us massively in our English sessions.

Year 6 We were delighted to have Adam Bushnell visit us this week to help with our writing. Adam helped the children write a description of The Boathook Man from our English text the Malamander. The children acted out a scene as though they were Boathook Man and used this to help with their written work. The class also got to meet Jet the tortoise which helped them described the character's slow thoughtful movements!

Hello everyone, 

Once again lost to talk about

This week we have started our dinosaurs topic. On Monday we discovered a very large egg outside and tried to guess what might be inside it. In the classroom we have been making dinosaurs from pasta shapes and baking fossils from salt dough.

Grasshoppers have had a great day meeting lots of different animals, thanks to crazy creatures. Everyone enjoyed looking at the animals and we showed lots of bravery being close to the animals and even touching them! Some felt soft, squishy and fluffy while others felt cold, spiky and hard! We were all so kind and caring towards the animals. This was such a fun and engaging experience for us all.

Hello everyone, 

Lovely to see the sunshine this week. Lots of fun playing outside this week with lots of sporting activities today to finish off the week.

Solar Ovens - Culture Club have been making solar ovens after we have been discussing International Day of Clean Energy and how we can reduce the amount energy we use. The children created the oven with the idea that the tin foil would reflect the sun's rays onto the marshmallow cooking it. We will send our images and a step by step guide to our partner school in Hungary to see if they can do the same.

In science, Year 6 have been exploring different ways to separate materials. The children were given a range of mixed objects and had to decide which separation method such as filtering, sieving, magnetism and evaporation would work best. They tested their ideas, explained their choices and discovered how different materials behave when separated.

The Geography focus for this half term is North America. Year 6 created messy maps using only our prior knowledge. This helped us capture what we already knew and what we were unsure about. As we continue exploring the geography, cultures and countries of North America, we will continue to add information to our map.

Move over David Attenborough- Leonora’s in town! -During her Time to Shine this week, Leonora showcased her fantastic knowledge of Scottish animals, acquired during a recent holiday to the Western Highlands. She shared a whole range of facts about a variety of birds, including the white‑tailed eagle and the golden eagle, along with mammals such as the otter, Scottish red deer, and the European pine marten.

Leonora also showed us photographs of the animals she had spotted using her telescope and even brought in a section of a stag’s antler to discuss with us.

At the end of her presentation, she revealed that the series The Secret Garden, narrated by David Attenborough, was actually filmed where she was staying. She even met the gentleman who owns the garden where the pine martens live. How exciting!

Year 5's French Cafe! - This half term, we have been learning how to say popular food and drinks in French. Therefore, we thought the best practise was to host our own cafe where children can order their items. It's safe to say we had full bellies by the end. Tres Bien!

Year 5 and 6 have had a fantastic week making and assembling their wooden truss bridges. Children used saws, bench hooks and sandpaper to create their structures. I am so impressed with the team work and resilience of each group as the design brief was tricky at times. Well done!

Year 5 Computing Presentations

Over the course of the half term, Year 5 have been given a data security scenario where they had to carry out several tasks to cater for these issues. For their final project, they created a powerpoint presentation which was presented to the class about the problems and solutions going forward.

Elisha's Time to Shine for this week - Elisha’s passion for football shone through during his Time to Shine this week! He told us all about the team he plays for, shared his impressive collection of football cards and even read a poem about the beautiful game that he had written at home. We enjoyed discussing our favourite lines from his wonderful piece of writing, and Mrs Chadwick has now displayed it proudly at the front of the class. Elisha finished with a quick football quiz to test our knowledge - and we scored top marks!

Noah had his time to shine and he chose to talk about his favourite animals - The Red Panda. He brought in a cuddly toy and a book to show the class what they look like and to share some amazing facts all about them! He was extremely enthusiastic to share his knowledge about Red Pandas and even created a mini quiz at the end. Well done Noah!
