A lovely afternoon spent mixing colours and trying to match them up to the paintings of Japanese artist Hokusai 

Our performance of Twelfth Night is now available on Youtube. Enjoy.

We have been exploring 3D shapes and shape nets by making our own, naming them and discussing their properties.  

We have been investigating how craters may have been formed on Mars  by dropping meteorites from different heights and measuring the size of the craters. Stephen Hawking is inspiring us to find out more about space.  English, maths and science in one lesson!

A wonderful performance of Twelfth Night at Blackwell Arts and Crafts House. Well done Year 5. Huge thank you to Marion Plowright, Bernadette Calvey and all the staff at Blackwell and the Wordsworth Trust. It has been a brilliant project to be part of. Thank you to everyone who came and watched…

We had a fabulous time learning all about owls this morning. 

The skateboarding legends of Year 5! 

We had an Eggcellent time investigating materials to see which one would protect an egg if we dropped it. 

We have been exploring how the planets move and looking at different theories over time. We looked at heliocentric and geocentric models. 

A break from all the hard work, we danced to the macarena for a while.  

While I am still waiting for my letter from Hogwarts, there is still chance for the children in Year 5. They have now had some Quidditch training.....just in case!  

We spent time today with staff from The Wordsworth Trust, putting together our arts award and reflecting on our drama day yesterday
