Year 5 wanted to demonstrate their ability to discuss balanced arguments today! Vinny had given the whole class a "Mindfulness" Chilean flag to colour, as part of his South American project presentation The question was, should they take it home? Or should they stick it in their Geography books? The group with the better arguments won! They used their "for and against" skills to convince the class to put them into their books! Well done everyone for taking part! Mrs Blomeley

Our Year 5 and 6 boys' football team won their friendly against St Raphael's 6-5. Even the cheerleaders came out to support them!

Our Year 5 and 6 rounders team had lots of fun at their competition the other week. They scored lots of rounders and really developed their fielding skills throughout the competition. Well done everyone!

Year 5 turned their usual Friday practical Maths games session into negative number games today to link to their current topic! Some played "Negative Nifty Fifty" while others turned "Snakes and Ladders" baclwards and upside down, by starting at the ends and going up the snakes and down the ladders! Very clever and an innovative way to learn this tricky concept. Mrs Blomeley

Oh what fun Year 5 had when "Performance in Theatre" entertained AND educated them with their fantastic performance of Abbie Ayre and the Shed of Science - Air quality and active travel! The class were able to use the knowledge that they'd explored in their Climate Change topic from earlier in the year. They were amazing! Well done everyone and thank you to "Performance in Theatre" - we loved it! Mrs Blomeley

Year 5 were absolutely amazing at our Summer Fair yesterday! Customers were greeted with "Come and buy our jewellery - it's been made with love!" How could people resist! Year 5 have worked incredibly hard over the past few day, planning, making and calculating the best prices to make the maximum profit on our sales. Despite the rain, we managed to make over £80, which was AMAZING! Thank you for all your hard work Year 5! I might see some of you on The Apprentice one day! Mrs Blomeley

As part of their topic on South America, Year 5 had a great morning demonstrating their food technology skills to make Guacamole today! They used a variety of utensils, including a hand mixer, a garlic crusher, chopping boards and knives to make the "best Guacamole" ever, according to some groups!
