Year 5's Haka Dance routine!

, , , , , , ,

Year 5 have started to learn the Haka dance in their PE sessions with Miss Harrop, our Sports Coach.    After only two weeks they know all the moves they have learnt so far and are looking very impressive!  The Haka is a ceremonial Māori war dance or challenge which is usually performed in a group and represents a display of a tribe's pride, strength and unity.  Our aim is to create a suitable war dance to link to our Anglo Saxon topic.  Mrs Blomeley

Year 5's Super Science visit to Rayner Stephens!

, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Year 5 enjoyed their visit to Rayner Stephens yesterday for a Science Workshop, where they spent time in the Science Lab doing Chemistry!  Whilst there, they explored some different Acids and Alkalis and used a universal indicator to place them on the pH scale! They finished their session by mixing different ingredients to make a chemical reaction, which resulted in sherbet!  When we got back to school, the class designed their own wrappers for sherbet!  We were all extremely proud of the children's work and behaviour at Rayner Stephens was just amazing!  Well done everyone!

They want to play in the school curriculum, at breaktime, after school, at local clubs – wherever, whenever they want. No barriers, no stereotypes. Let Girls Play.
