As part of fractions Year 3 have been working out practically how to find 2/3, 3/4 or 5/8ths of a number.

Year 3 have been finding out that light cannot travel through an object and this is how shadows are created.

What a wonderful week to take literacy outside. The weather provided a wonderful muse to help us improve our sentences when setting a scene, be it under the beautiful blue sky or in the shade of our wooded copse. 

In a lively Year 5 classroom, students eagerly used Oreos to model the phases of the moon. By scraping off the cream to mimic waxing and waning crescents, they transformed a simple snack into a hands-on astronomy lesson. It was an engaging and delicious way to explore the lunar cycle!

We have started our topic on superheroes. Today the children thought about what they might look like as a super hero. We thought about our names and any special powers we might have. 

In their online safety lesson, Year 5 learned how digital content can be edited and why it's important to think before trusting what we see online.

This afternoon, Year 5 shared what they've learnt in music these past 10 weeks. They played several songs to our Year 4 class.

Well Done Year 5! 

As part of our RE lessons, we explored The Last Supper. We looked at different artwork, watched videos and read passages from the Bible. 

We explored not just the events of that evening, but also what the disciples and Jesus might have been thinking and feeling.

Year 5 had a fun, hands-on lesson using playdough and fractions to compare planet sizes! They scaled each planet accurately, seeing how tiny Mercury is next to giant Jupiter. This creative activity brought maths and space learning to life—well done, Year 5!
