Hello Year 5, 

We hope you have had a lovely Easter and no doubt eaten plenty of chocolate, just like us! Tomorrow would be the start of the summer term and our favourite time of the school year, it all feels a little bit strange and we are really going to miss seeing you all. 

However,…

Last term some of our Year 5 children had been using the How 2 draw website to learn how to draw animals. We have had several requests asking for the link so they can carry on drawing at home.

This lovely giraffe was drawn by a child in Year 4 and we couldn’t resist sharing it!

 If you fancy…

It has been fantastic to hear from some of you this week, especially from those that wanted to share all of the things you have been doing to keep busy. Some of you have been following the writing sessions we have been posting while many of you have logged into Bug Club and Times Tables Rock…

We have had a fantastic afternoon playing various sports and taking part in different activities. It was good to see the children challenging themselves with some new games that they hadn’t had the opportunity to play before. We also completed a mile run in support of Sports Relief! It was great…

In Year 3 today, we have been making colour wheels. We used the four primary colours, and then had to experiment with mixing them to create some secondary colours! We did this to show warmth and coolness that colours have and how they are used in landscape art. Some excellent pieces of work…

Yesterday, Year 5 had a fantastic afternoon at our Winter Olympics. They had a go at curling, and the paired ski. We then braved the wind to run the obstacle race. They worked incredibly hard in their houses and cheered each other on every single race. Well done Year 5. You were brilliant!

This afternoon Year 3 and 4 took part in the annual Winter Olympics inter house competition. Lots of fun was had from the paired skiing to chasing after the dressing up items in the obstacle race. It was great to see the children cheering on their team mates in an encouraging way! Well done to…

Last week, Year 5 had a gymnastics lesson with Miss Green looking at rolls, jumps and bridges. They had a fantastic time setting up their own circuits and then racing against the other teams using the gymnastics skills they had been taught at the beginning of the lesson. 

Year 3 had a fantastic time at the Handball Festival, playing games with Waltham Leas Primary. They had the opportunity to learn the basic skills and then put these skills into action with some exciting games! 

This week Year 5 had a Gymnastics session with Miss Green. They worked on different types of rolls and jumps in pairs. They then had to create a circuit as teams and only travel using the different jumps, rolls, steps and balances.
