Term 5, Week 5 (22/5/26)

Wow, this term has absolutely flown by! 🚀 We’ve packed it full of wonderful learning, memorable moments, and of course… SATs! 📚✏️

A huge well done to Rowan Class for all of your hard work 👏—let’s keep that fantastic effort going for the final term of the year! 🌟

📖 English

We have continued exploring The City of Ember. Recently, we’ve been focusing on the Mayor 🤔 and wondering what news he will bring to the city after the blackout. There is plenty more to uncover, and we will continue our journey with the book after the holiday!

➗ Maths

Year 6 took a well-earned step back from the intensity of SATs and channelled their creativity into designing and making their own board games 🎲. This included planning, building, and writing rules—excellent teamwork on display!
Year 5 have been busy investigating decimals 🔢, learning how to add and subtract them—an important skill, especially when dealing with money 💰.

🔬 Science

We wrapped up our topic on light by creating colour wheels 🎨 to explore how white light is made. A bright and colourful way to finish!

🛠️ DT

We completed our 3D printing projects and added colour to bring our designs to life 🖌️. Thankfully, we finished just in time… before the printer decided to stop working! 😅

To round off our 3D Designers topic, we explored famous UK monuments 🇬🇧, including Stonehenge—how was it built? Human engineering… or maybe aliens? 👽

🏏 PE

We finished our cricket unit with a fantastic whole-class game 🏏 and completed our OAA sessions with Commando Joe 💪—great teamwork and resilience shown by everyone!
