  • Young Voices Concert 2022 - the joy returns!

    Published 26/05/22

    Year 5 and their parents had a fantastic time at the O2 on Monday evening when after two long years we returned for the Young Voices concert. It was brilliant to see so many children jumping up and down, having great fun and singing their hearts out in such a joyful celebration. After the events of the past two years, it felt even more special for us all to be together again as a year group and to share the experience with so many other schools. A massive thank you to Mrs Boa for all her hard work in organising the event which will live long in the memory.

  • Sharing our learning

    Published 20/05/22

    It was great to show off some of our learning in Year 5 on Friday.  The parents from across the school were able to watch our PE skills in lacrosse lessons, listen to our djembe drumming in music and see us developing our computing skills.  During the week, we have also begun our work looking at stop-motion animation, which will help us to show how much we have learnt about coastal erosion and spent a lot of time rehearsing our songs for next week’s Young Voices concert at the O2.  We also had the chance to ask our teachers lots of questions to help us to prepare for our Isle of Wight trip.  Not long to go now!

  • Coastal erosion!

    Published 11/05/22

    Another busy week of learning in Year 5. In geography, we have been finding out about the process of coastal erosion and we cannot wait to see its effects from high up on Tennyson Down as we observe The Needles during our trip to the Isle of Wight in a few weeks’ time. We have also been researching the history of South Africa so that we will be able to produce a non-chronological piece of writing (it’s a bit like an encyclopaedia entry) linked to our core text, Journey to Jo’Burg. Finally, in RE we have been busy learning about the Five Pillars of Islam and how we can relate its principles to our own life.
