Things to remember for next week: 
- Can everyone try to come to our Science lesson on Monday afternoon with a flower to dissect. A good flower to use would be a primrose, tulip, geranium or snowdrop. Unfortunately, it doesn't work very well with a daisy, dandelion or daffodil. 
- Thursday is World Book Day and Mrs Marvin will be setting lots of fun activities to do so you might want to hold onto your used cereal boxes and save any junk modelling from your recycling box. You do not need to dress up for World Book Day. 

Have a lovely weekend in the sunshine.

Well, after a very well argued debate on Wednesday, the judges voted unanimously that Jack is indeed a hero. Even though he stole the harp and the chicken from the giant AND then aided his mother in chopping down the beanstalk, the 'hero' team managed to persuade the panel that his actions were more heroic than villainous. Well done to everyone for your excellent debating skills. 

I'd also like to say a huge well done to everyone for your topic presentations. Our wider curriculum topic this term involved lots of research into the history of books and numbers and some of the concepts were incredibly complex. From the ancient number systems and stone tablets all the way to modern day coding and virtual reading of the future, we have covered a wide expanse of history. 

Well done to all pupils, parents and carers for the amazing job you have done this term in keeping going with your studies. You've done a fantastic job. I hope you all enjoy your half term.

Here are just a few slides taken from the topic presentations put together by pupils. 

As part of Children's Mental Health Week, Year 5 found ways to make themselves feel better and unwind by 'expressing themselves'. With the restrictions imposed on us due to the pandemic, it's more important than ever to look after our mental health and I think there are some excellent examples here. In class, we've enjoyed skipping, particularly on the long rope. Well done Year 5.
