Check out 5HJ’s rainforest-themed soft toys—bursting with vibrant colors and creativity! Not only are these cuddly creatures adorable but they’re also sewn by our talented children. The children’s sewing skills really shine through, making each toy extra special. Perfect for sparking joy and learning about the rainforest!
After selling academic calendars from our previous expedition, Fight For Your Rights, and hosting a bake sale, Year 5 & 6 students raised over £600 to support not one, but two local food bank charities!
A huge thank you to all the parents, students, and everyone involved for making this happen. Your hard work and generosity are helping provide food for families in need within our community.
The snow brought pure joy to the playground yesterday. Laughter filled the air as the children played in the fresh snow, making the most of every frosty moment.
It was the perfect day for outdoor fun and a reminder of how exciting nature can be! Let’s hope there’s more snow to come!
5HJ have been diving into the short multiplication and it’s been fantastic to see their progress! With a bit of practice and plenty of focus, they’ve been mastering how to multiply larger numbers step by step. The children have really embraced the challenge showing a lot of determination and teamwork as they solve problems. Not only are they sharpening their multiplication skills but they’re also building confidence. It’s exciting to watch them grow in their understanding and enjoy the process of problem-solving!
5HJ have been busy using their sewing skills to create soft toys inspired by the rainforest. They’ve been carefully stitching colourful animals and it’s been wonderful to see their creativity come to life. I can’t wait to see the final outcomes!
Our amazing children made waves at the Legacy swimming gala yesterday showing incredible skill, teamwork and sportsmanship. We are all so proud of their dedication and the fantastic medals they brought home – true champions in and out of the pool!
Our class had a fantastic visit from an animal expert who introduced us to some incredible creatures — including a snake, tarantula, skunk and meerkat! The pupils loved getting up close to the animals, learning about their unique habitats and discovering what they like to eat.
It was an unforgettable hands-on learning experience!
This week, Year 5 have been putting their creativity and research skills to the test by planning and writing their very own Amazon Rainforest Survival Guides.
From deadly predators to poisonous fruits, the children explored the challenges of surviving in one of the world’s most extreme environments. They thought carefully about the skills, equipment and knowledge needed to stay safe, and presented their ideas through engaging writing filled with detail and imagination.
During Crew Week, Year 5 explored the question: “How can our crew be strengthened by acts of service to others?”
Drawing on our character traits of respect, compassion, and quality & craftsmanship, the children created beautiful gifts which were delivered to residents at The Laurels Residential Care Home. Both the children and residents thoroughly enjoyed spending time together — a heartwarming experience for all.
What a wonderful first week back we’ve had, immersing ourselves in everything Crew!
We’ve spent time building relationships through fun team-building activities like tower building (with art straws—and even shoes!), Crew Olympics, Pictionary, and so much more. Here’s to a great year ahead!
