A huge well done to all of year 5 for their amazing performance during the class assembly! They decided on their own groups, wrote their own scripts and performance it brilliantly.

We have seen lots of awesome skills, strength and leaping in gymnastics. The children have been using equipment to leap over vaults, swing upside down on ropes, jump off agility tables and climb on the wall frame.

In DT, the children researched, planned and created their own Moon buggies. They used wood, cardboard and plastic to create the base as well as using hot glue guns and saws to make these. They also made satellites, aerials and tool boxed as part of their buggies.

Maple class used clay (Moon), themselves (Earth) and a torch (Sun) to demonstrate why we have seasons, night and day in the U.K. This is an easy experiment that the children could show you at home!

In science, the children have learnt about different forces. We researched how water resistance affects different objects before making their own boats from polystyrene. The experiment didn’t work too well but lots of fun was had making them and testing these in water!

The children have practised, performed and created their own poetry. They thought about the rhythm, tone and actions of a poem as well as learning about similes, metaphors, personification and assonance! Their poems were amazing!
