A massive thank you to you all for helping your children dress in spots for ‘Children In Need Day’. We have had many sensible and insightful conversations about the charity throughout the day and I have been very proud with how they have dealt with it all.
This week has also seen us become real life ‘scientist’. We have been exploring space within our new unit and this week we took a specific focus on the ‘phases of the moon’. I was so impressed with the prior knowledge that they children had, and they used this understanding to build a ...

We have also this week been ...
We have finally come to the end of another busy week at school, and the children in year 5 have yet again been working extremely hard to complete all the challenging work within their lessons.

We are looking forward to art week next week, and have got some fun and ...
