Year 5/6 Dodgeball competition

Our dodgeball teams showed fantastic skill and enthusiasm in their competition tonight. Our Year 6 team came 2nd in their group and our Year 5 team 3rd in theirs. Well done everyone - you did our school proud! 


Maths - Multiplication grid

 In maths, the class practised using the multiplication grid. They generated their own numbers using dice and checked their answers in the end with the calculator.


Science - Prenatal development

In Science, we learnt about the prenatal development and growth of a foetus. We compared the different stages of development with different fruits and even held a watermelon to see how heavy a pregnancy could have felt at 40 weeks! 


Researching endangered animals

Year 5 are tasked with writing me a persuasive letter to adopt an animal from the WWF website. They have been researching facts about their chosen animal to learn more about why they are endangered and what we can do to help. This will help them write their letter next week. 


Broadbent Fold vs Buckton Vale

Our Year 5 and 6 girls' football team had their first match of the year tonight against Buckton Vale which finished 2-4. The girls didn't give up throughout the game and have improved so much since their last game. Well done girls!
