This was a very exciting lesson! As part of our Design Technology project, we have been looking at different inventions and today, we looked at compasses.

Not only were we lucky enough to visit the Sale Sharks training ground but, did you know that they will be visiting us for the next few weeks?  We will be developing our tag rugby skills and looking at the importance of looking after our mental health.

WOW!! Today HAS been exciting for the children in Year Five.  We, along with Year Six, went to Sale Sharks training ground for the day.  Here, we were coached by the players, played tag rugby with other schools and met professional players.  Great fun was had by all!

Here we are building our kites.

Here in Year Five we have begun a ten week programme called Project Chameleon which is run by Global Policing.  It is a PSHE based programme which focuses, each week,  on a different area of crime with the pivotal aim of helping us to make wise decisions.

In Design Technology we will be designing and making a kite.  Before we can do this, we need to find out which material is the most appropriate.  Here we are testing the durability of a range of different materials.

Here we are taking part in a live lesson by The Big Book Festival as part of World Book Week! 

... is a lovely way to end the week!

WOW! We have had an AMAZING morning in Y5.  We took part in a workshop which was all about the Anglo-Saxons.

Here we are taking part in a Digital Music computing lesson with our resident computing specialist, Mr. Chaudry.

In Design Technology we have been learning about the different features of bridges.  We then had to design and build a model bridge of our own.  It was a lot harder than we thought!

Wow! What an AMAZING book for us to read  in class.  Huge, huge thanks to the Christmas Book Fairy! :)
