We have been planting our new trees that we got from the Woodland Trust. They are very small at the moment but we will look after them and we are looking forward to watching them grow over the next few years.

Today we focused on jumping in gymnastics. We used the springboard to help us practise star jumps, straddle jumps, pencil jumps, pike jumps and tuck jumps. We also worked in small groups to make a short sequence using jumps and rolls.

This afternoon Year 5 and 6 watched a performance called 'Blindside'. This was a monologue highlighting the sensitive topic of violence against women and girls. Following the performance, we worked in groups to discuss the mature content of the themes explored. The children were respectful and sensible and all discussed how to spot signs of an unhealthy relationship and who they could turn to for help. We are very proud of you all for your mature attitude today.

Today Year 6 worked in small groups to work through six clues to unlock a 6 digit code in order to leave the room for their lunch. The challenges ranged from problem solving about angles to cracking a code with positive and negative numbers. Our victors were Evie, Matilda, Reiss and Eva who will win a prize.
Year 5 and 6 took part in a workshop, exploring how boys and girls can be good allies to each other, to help reduce the levels of harmful behaviours and violence against women and girls in society.
It aims to help level the playing field for boys and girls by showing each other equal respect, and boys calling out harmful behaviour and attitudes. It was very powerful and emotive.

Year 6 have now had two workshops with our Mental Health Practitioner on wellbeing and exam stress. We have learned different techniques on reducing stress and managing our wellbeing. We talked about how sleep, a balanced diet, exercise and hobbies help us to stay healthy.
This term our topic question is 'Skellig: is it a bird or mythical creature?' We will read David Almond's 'Skellig' and look at how animals and plants are classified scientifically. We will link this to our geography learning looking at how animals and plants are adapted to live in desert conditions.
Please see the attached overview of our topics this term. Also find the home learning grid for additional activities which can be completed at home.
