We had a fabulous start to our day with a paralympics activity session in the hall. We discovered how tricky it is to save goals using only our hearing and learnt how to play curling and boccia.

We loved our first week of Forest School making maps using landmarks like the Anglo Saxons and discovering the names of different plants and mushrooms in our Wild Wood area. We can't wait for next week where we will be learning about fire and how it was used in Anglo Saxon times and in future sessions, we are hoping to bake bread on the open fire and learn about equality and equity around the world.

We dissected lily flowers today to investigate male and female parts of plants and studied each part carefully using magnifying glasses. We also used these to observe the different sections of a huge sunflower head. We are drying it out so we can all grow giant sunfowers next year.

Managing Money
Year 5 have had their first visit of the year from Mr. Souter. He spent the afternoon with us to begin a series of workshops on Money Management - Lessons for Life.
This session focused on our understanding of NEEDS and WANTS and the difference between these. We learnt the definition of debt and the difference beween good and bad debt. All the children listened, laughed and learnt. Mr Souter has asked for 4 Money Mentors to be chosen from the class who will prepare and deliver the next Money Management session to us. Watch this space!

George inspired us to be resilient and embrace challenges as a way of learning and increasing our self-confidence.
Living life cycles in the classroom
Date: 27th Sep 2021 @ 5:02pm
Our classroom has been filled with wildlife so far this term. We are observing our caterpillars undergoing their metamorphosis and hatching out as butterflies and we had a visit from a chicken with her eggs and chicks - an egg was hatching as we watched! We were very lucky to see a complete life cycle in one cage at a single moment in time.

We are all learning to play trumpets, cornets, bass or trombones. Mr G was incredibly impressed as by the end of the first lesson all pupils could make a sound with their mouthpiece (called buzzing), play back simple rhythms and name different parts of their instruments.

Our first session focused on changing direction, how to pass the ball and scoring a try. We are building up our skills to take part in a tag rugby competition later this term.
