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

No Pens Day 2024

Next week on Wednesday 27th November the whole school will take part in No Pens Day. This is a day to recognise that there are many different ways to communicate and not all people find talking and understanding words easy. Communication is vital for young people to thrive and difficulties in this can make children feel sad and isolated. During No Pens Day we will look at alternative ways to communicate like using gestures, facial expressions, codes and sign language. It will also be a fun way to practise our oracy and speaking and listening skills which is so important.
