  • Puppets, Fairtrade and end of term!

    Published 30/03/23

    This week we concluded our learning on Macbeth, with a visit from Corrine Blair who retold the story to the children. We have turned parts of the narrative into a play script and used our puppets to act them out. In geography, we have learnt about the positive impact that Fairtrade has on businesses around the world as well as understanding what products the UK exports based on our physical and human geography. The children have worked really hard this term and should be proud of all they have achieved. Have a lovely break, and we look forward to seeing you next term.

  • Year 5 STEM DAY

    Published 14/03/23

    On Thursday Year 5 took part in an online STEM day run by Smallpeice in partnership with the Royal Airforce Youth Stem. Their task was to design, make and test three  gliders to find out which shape wing and tail (empennage) helped the glider to fly the furthest and quickest. We were impressed with the teamwork and patience the children showed towards their peers, whilst completing the task. They also discussed what sustainability is and designed their own sustainable aircraft of the future. We are enjoying a very practical week and have begun to make our Macbeth inspired character puppets. Thank you to the parents who visited today to help with our sewing skills.
