We are all on the bus and excited for our adventure to Durham Cathedral!
Well done to Florence who has started to learn how to spell in British Sign Language! She has drawn some pictures to help her remember the different signs and can now sign her name! Check out the video below!
Two groups of the Year 6 children have taken on the role of engineer by building a car! Tools at the ready, they have used the design plan to help get on with the long process of building the car and even managed to have a test drive.
We can’t wait to see the pictures from the final group later on in the term.
Today we wished Mrs Wilson the Best of Luck as she starts her maternity leave. We will miss her so much but look forward to meeting her beautiful new baby
On Wednesday, the Navy came to talk to Y5 and Y6 about their role and how they help people. They helped us to build our own flares before giving us the chance to watch them take off with tremendous speed!
This week, Y6 tried their hand at being heart surgeons! To learn more about the organ for their science topic, the class dissected some sheep hearts and looked at how they worked.
Year 5 travelled back in time to consolidate their learning on the Anglo-Saxons and learn more about the Viking invasion. We gathered by the fire to listen to a retelling of the epic poem Beowulf, took part in burial rituals and ended our day with a brutal battle.
In Lego Club, this half term, we have been looking at transport. This week, we built rickshaws and raced them to see which would go the furthest. 
This half term, Y5 have been learning about forces and carried out investigations to test air resistance.
Our first investigation involved letting a crumpled piece of paper fall and flat piece of paper fall to see if one was quicker than the other. We discovered that the flat piece glided down as it had more air resistance.
Our second investigation saw us making paper helicopters: one large one and one small one. We timed how long they took to reach the floor.
The children (and staff!) had a fabulous time taking part in the sponsored bounce.
