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!
5HJ have become mini rainforest survival experts, writing guides full of clever tips for finding food, collecting clean water, and building safe shelters. It’s inspiring to see their survival strategies and beautiful illustrations come to life on the page!
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.
What a wonderful day celebrating the 80th anniversary of VE day. Children dressed in the patriotic colours of red, white and blue and took part in a thought provoking Crew session, listened carefully during remembrance assembly and observed a minute silence. Lunch was a picnic or traditional fish and chip supper. In the afternoon, 5HJ created these stunning watercolour paintings of a Spitfire mid flight!
This morning, 5HJ explored a range of 3D shapes including cubes, spheres, pyramids, and a selection of prisms. The children were tasked with the job of identifying the amount of faces, edges and vertices to solve mathematical problems.
What an amazing effort from these guys this week. Over 1211 classes entered the SumDog maths week competition with over 12,000 children around the country playing. 5HJ worked with determination to achieve 13th place with 9 children actually completely the maximum 1000 questions. I couldn’t be prouder of you all! What a team!
