Our Sports Leaders Molly and Sophie represented the school in carrying the baton. Everyone is so excited for the Commonwealth Games to be held in Birmingham in a few weeks. 


D&T South American style in Year 5!

Having completed their research on the Avacado based dip, Guacamole, Year 5 worked in groups yesterday to actually make their recipes!  They demonstrated just how brilliant they are as food technicians by using an array of equipment, sensibly and carefully.  Then, of course, they all got the opportunity to taste their delicious versions of Guacamole!  Mrs Hallam, who worked with each group, praised their efforts - she said they were "absolutely amazing"!  Well done everyone!  Mrs Blomeley

Year 5's "Taster Day" at Rayner Stephens!

What a brillliant day Year 5 had at Rayner Stephens!  They were invited to take part in a "Taster Day" where they did four different sessions.  They used table braces and saws in D&T to create their own designs and in Science they used the bunsen burners to explore the colours of different salts!  Using such equipment meant they had to be safe and sensible at all times.


Summer Fair

Thank you to everyone for joining us and supporting us on our summer fair. We had the good weather, great games, lovely food and plenty of fun. Thank you to the PTFA for their support too! We will share our total soon, but this will go to improving our libraries. 


Transition Y5 to Y6

I had a wonderful morning with my new, soon-to-be Year 6 class.

We read 'The Dot' and discussed resilience and building on what we can already do.

The children used their imaginations to think of the potential one black dot could have and designed some fabulous pieces of art- take a look at some of the photographs. 

We then had a tower-building challenge using only marshmellows and spaghetti. It was lovely to see so much teamwork and creativity.

I am very much looking forward to the year ahead Year 5 :)
