No Pens Day!

Year 5 enjoyed working with Mrs Gething doing some fun activities for No Pens Day!  They used verbal communication to children who couldn't see the board to describe Fairy Tale characters, as well as describing different items!  They also used signs and gestures to describe who they were pretending to be!  They proved that we don't always need pens to communicate  Well done everyone!  


No Pens Day

We have loved No Pens Day in year 3 today. We discussed non verbal methods of communication and how Morse code is used. We then created our own secret words in Morse code.

Year 5 popped in to see if they could uncover the code as part of their secret spy mission. 


Bikeability Day 2 !

Year 5's second day of Bikeability was another action packed day - out onto the local roads straight away to fulfil the criteria of Level 2.  A great deal of observation and communication was involved!  Year 5 are now the proud owners of Bikeability badges and certificates!  Well done to everyone - you were amazing!  Mrs Blomeley


Bikeability Day 1

Day 1 of Bikeability was a great success for Year 5!  Starting with a bike and helmet assessment, the children then had to use their skills to signal and brake when asked by the instructors.  After lunch they donned their hi-vis vests and ventured out onto the roads to complete other tasks.  A heavy downpour of rain did mean they had to return to school early but they are all ready for Day 2, when they will return to the roads.  Brilliant work everyone!  Mrs Blomeley


Number Fun in Year 5 with Square and Cube Numbers!

Year 5 enjoyed using squares and cubes last week to identify and prove which numbers are squared and which are cubed!  It helped them to understand, for example, that 5 x 5 is 25, by proving this practically.  The children worked just as hard with cube numbers and even spent some of their lunchtime to try and achieve 10 x 10 x 10 to make 1,0000.  Amazing work everyone!  Mrs Blomeley


Year 5 and 6 Girls’ Futsal Competition

Our Year 5 and 6 girls enjoyed their Futsal competition on Friday where they played against Manchester Road, St John's and each other. They showed some great skills and teamwork throughout. The girls showed some fantastic dance moves on the side lines to encourage each other on, even the parents joined in with the dance moves too!
