WOW! This has been a scorcher! Full sunshine all day, so lots of suncream and water hydration stops.
An early breakfast at 7.15am got us all up and out and ready for activities. Today we have enjoyed working together to build rafts - well done to all the scouts who had the knots perfected! The afternoon has been energetic and hot with an orienteering afternoon, followed by the Jacob's ladder climbing challenge and tonight a special game of Cluedo. Lots of photos today - hope you are enjoying them at home.

We arrived safely at Boreaton Park at 3.30 after a very noisy and musical journey!
Bags and cases were unpacked and we found our cabin for the week, 'Nuthatch' which has a grassed area for football, cricket and general chilling between activities. We have toured the site, found all the important places, unpacked bags and enjoyed a quiz this evening. Our PGL instructor for the week is Jess - look out for her in the photos. The competition has started for the tidiest room of the week and we are really excited for raft building in the morning!
What will tomorrow bring?

Fantastic afternoon of cricket. Some of us are natural cricketers and really surprised ourselves!
Edge Hill University Aspirations Day
Date: 13th Jun 2022 @ 8:43pm
We loved our day at Edge Hill University. The campus was calm, full of green areas (including lakes and even a beach) and a range of wildlife - although we didn't meet the campus cat! We were really impressed with the fantastic sports facilities and many of us were inspired by the medical training centre for nurses, midwifes, etc and their £30,000 dummies which could simulate different illnesses!

Year 5 were pleased to receive a return visit from local artist Dave Rob. He talked to the children about colour mixing and matching to complete their self portraits. He will pick them up from us next week and use them to create something for us to keep. We can't wait and we thank him so much for spending his valuable time with us and supporting us to develop new skills.

Today we launched the big question for our final half term of the year!
WHAT DO YOU THINK?
We talked about what the words FASTER, HIGHER, STRONGER meant to us at this stage in the year. The children amazed me with their responses which you will see from the photo of our display.
The children were also introduced to the idea of philosophy and we had some really thoughtful conversations about some of the quotes of Ancient Greek philosophers.
To end the session, the children had a piece of a Greek pot and had to regroup by finding pupils with the other parts. We began to think about what clues to the past these held.

We were all pleased to receive a second visit from Action for Children. During the afternoon we revisited our understanding of resilience. We learnt about practical techniques to help us manage difficult times and thought about where or who to go to when we needed help.

As we concluded our half term theme, we were left in no doubt of the answer to our big question:
Rainforests: essential or desireable?
Take a look at the photos below showing our plaquards and pencil cases. We made our feelings known on our peaceful protest march which was concluded very persuasivley by speeches given by Josh D and Jude. Visit our class garden space to look more closely at our plaquards.

Year 5 had a brilliant athletics session at Priory Academy this week.They learnt to throw shot put with accuracy and also pushed themselves with some long distance running.

The charity Action for Children visited this week to support the children to develop resilience and learn strategies to bounce back from challenging situations. It was a perfect time to reflect on the last two years. The children were helped to realise that negative feelings and anxiety is normal and experienced by everyone. They learned about the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and had chance to talk. It was also good fun and the children behaved excellently.
We are looking forward to our second visit next week.
Striking and Fielding Festival
Date: 22nd May 2022 @ 8:54pm
Year 5 had a great start to Friday. Dave taught us striking and fielding skills before we took part in a really fun and competitive game using cricket skills. Well done to everyone for taking part so well and so energetically.

It was a bit tricky but most of us got it!

Mr Souter did not disappoint, as he joined us for the final time this year. Mr Souter works for a charity “Debt Aware” and payed us this visit to teach us about banking, interest, and all the different ways there are to pay for things. We learnt that different payments are better at different times and for different things. As you can see from the photos, we also laughed a lot!

Local artist Dave Rob visited us yesterday. We had looked at his work during the Autumn Term when we were learning about the UK and focusing on landmarks. Dave has created a lot of work based around local landmarks and some of his work is on sale locally.
Dave talked to us about how he became an artist, shared the passion he has for his job and helped us understand graphic design.
He worked with us for the afternoon to create a piece of art work. You can see what we are working on in the photos. We had a great time and are looking forward to Dave coming back before the end of the half term.

We enjoyed looking for worms last week as part of our Science week!
We found all 3 types of Earthworm living in our outdoor area.
We enjoyed looking out for other mini beasts and know more about where to find them and why they live there.
We had fun making micro-habitats for mini beasts too.

Year 5 had a visit from a familiar friend - Harold!
We spent time focusing on the importance of friendship and how to handle tricky situations without falling out. Using drama, the children practised being assertive and really impressed the visiting educator in school with their excellent behaviour, engagement and focus.

Rainforests: essential or desireable?
As part of our work this half term, we have been getting to know our trees well and taking more care of our environment. As part of our homework we have been making bird feeders and pompoms to decorate the tree we have got to know the best. It didn't take long before the birds began to visit. Here are a few of the decorations you will see when in the school playground.
