Last week 5EG organised a bake sale in aid of Maggie Cancer Care Charity. Maggie’s relies on charity donations and provides support and care to families at desperate times. We are proud to say that we raised over £120 for this amazing charity and this wouldn’t have been achieved without the amazing Crew of 5EG and their families who were baking furiously last week, so THANK YOU!

Live, laugh and log!
Out in the idyllic South Yorkshire sunshine, our year six wood workers were grafting hard on Friday morning to sand down their wooden frames. With it being such a distinctly different design and technology task, all enjoyed the opportunity to smoothen their frames in preparation for decorating next week!
An Eggcellent Eggsperiment!
Today with Easter looming, 4TE were given a challenge… In small teams could they create a protective casing fit with parachute to protect an egg from mighty drop? The teams did a fantastic job working together to conjure up such incredible and fantastic creations as you can see! Overall, we had 3 eggs suffer crackings and 4 which successfully survived the drop! It was a great bit of fun and developed our teamworking skills and a good time was had by all!
Case Study 3 – Music
3HJ have thoroughly embraced our third and final case study. This week has seen us stacking ostinato, reading rhythms and playing them simultaneously using non-tuned percussion.
Dodge the Ball!
That’s right. And didn’t our year 4 children do well in today’s dodgeball competition hosted by Campsmount. We took two teams who competed in separate competitions. One team finished 3rd whilst the other won their group setting up a humdinger of a final against Owston. Alas, they just missed out to a pretty drilled Owston side. However, special praise is reserved for Madison who faced a 6 v 1 situation in the final and cut the deficit to 3 v 2 after some superb catching and throwing. It was a great afternoon all round and the children deserve credit for their performance.
If I had a hammer 🔨
Year 5 and 6 have been busy making their frames for their beautiful Amazon Rainforest animal artwork and writing this week. They have made their frames from recycled timber and have enjoyed designing and constructing them. Next step….decorating!
Ooh! Ahh! Animal!
In preparation for their final product, 6CC have begun drawing an endangered rainforest animal of their choice. Most of the class then started to experiment with different media to add popping colour to their animals. Awesome effort! 🐯🐵🐸
XP Calling
This week saw the whole of Y3/4 visit XP School in order to record NJS’s part of the single made as per our current expedition. A few things of note, the children represented our school superbly. During recording, they sang superbly. During a tour of a reording studio, they listened superbly and throughout the whole trip, they behaved superbly. Superb! It’s only a matter of time now before our single is released. Watch this space…
Who? With what? And where?
Maths lessons are far more enjoyable when they include a murder mystery! This week, y5 put their investigative skills to the test to solve the mystery of who murdered the young millionaire, Henry Baskerville, following a dinner party at Baskerville Hall. Our young detectives had to calculate the perimeter of all the rooms in the hall in order to generate an 8-digit code, which opened the padlocked journal of the murderer. Who needs Sherlock Holmes with y5 on the case!
Fun in the sun!
This morning 5EG chose to have an extended break time for their Flexible Friday Crew. It was so great to see the children having fun with their friends in the sunshine and playing some fab playground games.
