A visit from a veterinary nurse

Date: 8th Mar 2022 @ 4:56pm

We really enjoyed our visit this afternoon from Christine who talked to us about what animals need to stay healthy. 

Christine gave our guinea pigs a health check and told us that they are both in good health!

I hope the children enjoy reading their leaflets that Christine brought along.

Parachuting eggs!

Date: 7th Mar 2022 @ 6:00pm

This afternoon we were learning about air resistance and how important it is to parachutes. Our task was to design and make a parachute that would safely bring a raw egg down to land without breaking it! Unfortunately, Mrs. Mather did not end up with enough eggs left for her tea!

World Book Day

Date: 6th Mar 2022 @ 11:29pm

World Book Day 2022 gave Year 5 a chance to focus on a book from another country. We are reading The Fastest Boy in the World by Elizabeth Laird. It is set in Ethiopia and is enabling us to find out about life in another country and compare it with our own. We can't believe what the main character has just found out about his Grandad!

Here we are dressed in the colours of the Ethiopian flag or as our favourite book characters.
