The children in nursery have been very busy learning about Dinosaurs, early on Thursday morning a T-Rex came into the garden and it was caught on the schools CCTV. When the children were shown they bravely decided we needed to go on a hunt for dinosaurs. They found lots of small dinosaurs in the garden but no signs around the rest of the school. After the hunt they made up a new story in the pond area all about going on a dinosaur hunt. We can safely say that the T-Rex has now gone and hopefully won't be back!

Year 5 – Unit 5.2 We are responsible for our online actions

The year five children have been learning how poor online behaviour can cause distress or upset to others. All children have been asked to pose an online safety scenario to their grown-ups at home (an unkind comment posed about them on social media) and explain what a suitable response might be. Please support them in their learning by listening to the scenario and asking questions about how this could be resolved.

Year 5 - Science

In Science, we have been investigating materials and their properties.
We were given a material to describe where we felt them and came up with words to describe them.

We then learnt new vocabulary such as magnetic, transparent, permeable and flexible. Using our materials, we tested them for the new vocabulary to see if they contained any of the properties.

We sorted and compared materials according to their properties.
