There’s no better way to delve into a scientific investigation than by getting your hands dirty, which the children learnt this afternoon. The pupils completed small group work to explore the difference between reversible and irreversible reactions with some messy results!
During their first day back, the Year 5 and 6 pupils took part in lots of exciting Harry Potter themed activities as part of our ‘The Magic of Motion’ exhibition. The children dressed up as witches and wizards and through the magic of technology, photo shopped themselves into various Harry Potter movie sets!
After learning about the Pop Art movement in the 1960s, our children have been busy creating some eye-catching Pop Art pieces, based on the professions of the experts that visited us last week. The pupils have worked extremely hard to ensure their work is vibrant, bold and exciting. Here is a small selection of their beautiful work.
This year has been extremely tough on everyone, particularly our children. In 5RS, we thought that our Crew deserved a reward for their resilience and hard work during these unprecedented times and so we decided to revisit Shrove Tuesday. It is safe to say that our children had a flipping good time!
Pancake anyone?
Our Crew definitely made a splash in their English Channel virtual challenge! The children have walked an astonishing 21 miles during lockdown, which has supported the Eden Project in planting an additional 5 trees! Incredible job 5RS!
This week in year 5 we have been investigating 3D shapes. Today, we challenged the children to find all the possible nets of a cube. Through perseverance, great visualisation and fantastic co-operation, all of the groups managed to find a vast majority of all 11 possibilities and had some great fun in the process.
This week, the children in 5RH have been hard at work creating exceptional Queen Elizabeth I portraits. After hours and hours of work they still aren’t all finished but I’m sure you’ll agree, the time and hard work has definitely paid off.
Our in-depth look at real life heroes and villains (The Tudors) has taken us down a tasty path as we dissect the eating habits of the very privileged. Would you want to eat at a Tudor banquet? It’s a mixed bag for me, as the Tudor dishes range from delicious to down right disgusting.
Some beautiful work on show produced by children in school and at home. Cracking stuff!

Well done to all the children in years 5 and 6 for their tremendous hard work this term. They have been on a journey, exploring the development of the camera and how the world has changed as a result of iconic events, remarkable people and even several disasters!
Watch the video here to gain insight into their expedition and let them introduce you to the culmination of our journey: their rather impressive final product!
