Stitching Up a Colourful Rainforest! 

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!

The Gift of Giving

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.

Masters of Short Multiplication!

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!

Maths Week England

In honour of Maths Week England, the children have participated in a range of different maths based tasks this week. We have explored and completed a variety of problems that required some different thinking.

The children have showed great perseverance, resilience and patience. They’ve had to work systematically and had to work together to battle through these difficult problems but have done so exceptionally.

Close Encounters

As 6RH begin the second half of our expedition, we have had a visit from some very interesting and unusual creatures as we re-hook the children into our learning.

Reptile Rendezvous

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!

Rainforest Survival Guides

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.
