Term 6, Week 5

What a whirlwind of a week we’ve had at school.

The Year 6s had their first day at their new schools and the Year 5s met their new teachers. A time of great excitement mixed with nerves!

In English, we dived into the delightful world of Limericks, and the children really knocked it out of the park. Their poems are not only brilliant but also downright hilarious—there were giggles echoing around the classroom.

Over in Maths, Year 5 has been busy converting units of measurement and wrestling with those tricky timetables. It’s been quite the brain workout. Meanwhile, Year 6 is in full swing rehearsing for their upcoming performance of Oliver!. The excitement is building, and I can’t wait to hear them belt out those classic tunes.

In Science, we delved into the fascinating world of blood and its functions. The children had a great time creating colourful art pieces to show how blood flows through the body. Who knew learning could be so creative?

Switching gears in Geography, we chatted about Earthquakes and how they happen. It’s wonderful to see the kids connect the dots about these natural wonders.

In Music, we’ve had a lovely time harmonising and weaving melody together. And in PE, Mrs Morris got us moving with some fun team games. Our handball match was particularly lively, revealing some very competitive spirits.

Lastly, in RE, the children shared their thoughts on how Christians view environmental issues. It’s so rewarding to see them take these matters to heart. It’s been a fab week filled with laughter, learning, and lots of enjoyment.
