Spy Day in Year 5!

Spy Day finally arrived in Year 5 last Thursday and the class came to school disguised in their amazing spy outfits! They looked brilliant!   Year 5's classroom had been transformed into Spy Headquarters and the morning was spent finding clues, cracking codes, practising spy moves, such as the "brush past", and making the spy gadgets that they'd designed.  Add to this some invisible writing and watching the film of their class text "Stormbreaker" in the afternoon and an action packed and fun day was had by all!   Well done Year 5!  Mrs Blomeley (aka Agent Blomovich!)


Square Numbers!

Year 5 have been practising their square numbers since September, singing and marching to the "Square Number" song - "A square number is the product of a number with itself!"   Last week they made squares, using foam squares, and realised that they needed the actual amount of square numbers to create the perfect square!  Mrs Blomeley


Reading Lunchtime Club

Thank you to our Librarians for running a festive lunchtime club this week. The Y5 children have had the chance to play a Christmas Quiz, complete festive crosswords and play a festive version of bananagram.

It looks like you all had fun!


The Hummingbird Project in Years 5 and 6

Year 5 and Year 6 are currently taking part in The Hummingbird Project , which is a six week Positive Education intervention.  The Project is designed to give pupils the tools they need to be as happy, healthy, and productive as possible.  So far the children have taken part in workshops about happiness, mindfulness, gratitude, kindness, character strengths, and resilience. These include fun activities that help them to understand how to put these ideas into practice and, most importantly, help them to  feel good about the future.
