We have been working on athletics challenges 

Thank you Alex, we had a great time using different water colour techniques. 

Lovely to start gardening after school again. Hopefully we will have some dry days to get outside 

Year 5 and 6 have been working together on projects for the Earthshot Prize. We will pick an idea and see where we can take it. 

We have been learning how to send emails to each other with information about the Stone Age 

Brilliant story teller 

We have had a brilliant time designing new bridges for the Three Billy Goats Gruff. There was lots of great discussion and good ideas. 

We have been making coil pots from clay 

Today we investigated reversible and irreversible changes and created some new materials. Safety first we wore our goggles, then did two investigations to make casein plastic and carbon dioxide. It was very exciting. 

Lovely to hear some spooky poems and stories from library services today. 

Year 5 collected natural materials to make sculptures in the style of Andy Goldsworthy 

Lots of fun using Stone Age tools (stones) to make flour, just like they did in the Neolithic.
