Year 5 were able to use their prior knowledge of their Forces topic this morning! They remembered key vocaculary such as Gravity, Friction and Air Resistance together with their meanings! Along with Mr B and Mr T, the class made their own rockets, with specific instructions, to get the best possible launch! Outside, everyone had the opportunity to launch their rockets and Mr T timed them to see which rocket stayed in the air for longest! It was great fun for everyone! Thank you to Mr B and Mr T for a brilliant workshop! Mrs Blomeley

Our Key Stage 2 classes have created a variety of artwork, based on their current class texts. Year 3 children have used chalk and pastels to create images of the "Iron Man" and Year 4 have used their portrait skills to draw pictures of Henty VIII's wives from their Tuodor topic. Year 5 created a newly discovered fruit in their work on "The Explorer". They sketched real fruit but then painted it an unusual colour to produce a new type. Year 6 used inspiration from Shaun Tan and his books to design artwork using different techniques. We are very proud of this amazing artwork! Well done

What a great day we had in Year 5 for World Book Day! Children chose to dress as their favourite characters or in comfy clothes! We had some well-known characters, such as Gangsta Granny, Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz and Michelangelo! Alex Rider from Stormbreaker and a few Roald Dahl characters, such as an Oompa Loompa, Veruca Salt and the the Grand High Witch, also put in an appearance! They brought their favourite books and read to the class and we looked at the books on offer for them to spend their £1 Gift Tokens! Happy World Book Day everyone!

What a great day seeing so many girls playing football! Some Year 5 and 6 pupils went to Rayner Stephens to take part in a girls football festival while others played football at breaks and lunchtime. Our amazing Game Changers were awarded their well deserved badges for their dedication to girls football too.

Our Game Changers were very brave today doing an assembly infront of the whole school telling everyone about their role as Game Changers and #letgirlsplay day which is happening tomorrow. #Letgirlsplay is all about promoting equal access in girls football by 2025. We cannot wait for th fun activities to continue tomorrow!
