Year 5 pupils enjoyed making camouflage animals in their Wildlife Champions session on Thursday. They hid them in the forest school area and then went on a animal hunt. They were also set the challenge to find 50 worms to enable them to understand how hard birds have to work to feed their babies 

Lovaton Farm Trip (thanks to Scarlett W!)
Year 5 had a super day out at Lovaton Farm on Monday.  Discovering the many ways that Jane's farm is sustainable was perfect for our topic of Energy and Sustainability. We enjoyed walking around the farm and finding out how areas of field are allowed to grow wild to encourage insects and how herbal leys will help the soil and pollinators. We enjoyed sampling some of their delicious apple juice and saw the orchards where the apples grow. In the afternoon, we were set the challenge of trying to come up with some imaginative ways that wool could be used so that farmers get a fairer price for the wool. 
Thank you so much again to Lovaton Farm, Leaf Education and to Scarlett W for winning us the day out! 

We've enjoyed exploring the story structure of our English text 'Kensuke's Kingdom' this week. In particular, we've learnt about stories with multiple 'story mountains' and putting together a writerly knowledge chart. 

Don't forget, it's our trip to the Farm on Monday! Have a lovely weekend. 

Year 5 enjoyed a street-dance lesson with Jessica on Wednesday morning. Thanks so much Jessica, we had a super morning!
