What a busy Friday we had!  All the class looked brilliant in their Christmas jumpers and hats!  The Santa Dash was great fun, closely followed by a delicious Christmas Dinner.  Thank you to our lunchtime staff for preparing our lunches and to Miss Mainprize for arranging the Santa Dash!  It is definitely beginning to look a lot like Christmas!  Mrs Blomeley

Christmas Fair Fun in Year 5!

A movie and popcorn, followed by a Chocolate Tombola and Lucky Dip, with a chance to win the Christmas Sloth by guessing his name, meant Year 5 enjoyed their Pyjama Afternoon on Friday to celebrate the school Christmas Fair!  Thank you to the PTFA and all parents for their donations.  The children had a great time!  Mrs Blomeley


Spy Day in Year 5!

Spy Day finally arrived in Year 5 and the class came to school disguised in their amazing spy outfits! They looked brilliant!  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",  an action packed and fun day was had by all!   Well done Year 5!  Mrs Blomeley (aka Agent Blomovich!)


Suspicious events in Year 5!

It all started when a suspicious looking briefcase was delivered to Year 5!  It contained a variety of objects and a coded letter.  Year 5, who had learnt how to use a Cipher Wheel, were able to decipher the message and the mission began.  They had just three weeks to investigate who was the Secret Agent in Key Stage 2 ........

Year 5 learn essential skills with Bikeabiity team!

Year 5 were disappointed this week when the downfall of snow caused their Bikeability sessions to be cancelled.  However, the Bikeability team visited the class and took the opportunity to teach the childen some important skills about looking after their bikes using the  "M check".  This a basic safety check of all the main working parts of a bike, moving from the front hub backward. The check is named after the way you follow the shape of the letter M when checking the bike. It's a useful pattern to follow and helps you quickly identify any problems with the bike.
