A super start to term 5 for year 5! Our first week back and we have participated in our first ukulele lesson, learning about body percussion and the parts of a ukulele. For PE we are focusing on athletics. Today the children had a go at shot put. We were then happy to welcome Mr Kemp to our class…

Fledglings have taken a deep breath this week and dived under the sea! We now know that some animals have gills and can breath under water. Some have blow holes and just hold their breath. We’ve loved watching octopus move, and also learned about them squirting ink when they are scared. Check out…

In Year 3 to celebrate Inspire Day we looked at the story 'Katie's Cabbage'. We planted our own seeds (runner bean, broad bean, courgette and radishes).

“5, 4, 3, 2, 1...BLAST OFF!”
