Year 5 Explore Tudor Crimes and Punishments

28th January 2026Mrs Lewis

Year 5 had an exciting history lesson exploring crimes and punishments in Tudor times. Working collaboratively, the children investigated different suspects and used clues to infer what crimes they may have committed and what punishments they would have faced, such as the stocks, pillory, or scold’s bridle.

The lesson sparked great discussion as the children shared ideas, justified their thinking, and worked together to reach decisions. We finished by comparing Tudor punishments with those used today, noticing how modern systems focus more on fairness and rehabilitation rather than public humiliation.

It was a great lesson that brought history to life and encouraged thoughtful discussion about how society has changed over time.

Great collaboration Year 5!

We are scientists!

27th January 2026Amy Woods

Today we have been talking about the changes we can see in our plants, since planting the seeds. We spoke about the roots, shoots, leaves and stalk and how you need to be gentle with them as hey are living things. We learnt that plants need sun, water and to eat nutrients from the soil, to grow. We did some active learning to help us remember which are the roots and which are the shoots.

Super Subitisers!

27th January 2026Rebecca Bubb

Tommy, Rivier and Isla-Grace have been working hard to subitise. Today, they showed they have smashed subitising and can do it easily! They rolled the dice and did not need to count. They then matched the numicon tile ( without counting the circles) to their number block board. They took turns and played by the rules. The first one to cover all their numberblocks was the winner! 🥇 We love playing maths games 🎲

Playing Handa’s Surprise

27th January 2026Rebecca Bubb

Today, we played ‘Handa’s Surprise’, after we had read the story. We used blocks to build the path and the trees and then moved the characters around our great big story mat. The cheeky animals kept stealing the fruit and running off with it! We talked and collaborated so we all knew how to play and tell the story. It was fun and Mrs Bubb was so impressed with the story language we were using in our play. Tomorrow, we might steal the fruit so we can have a taste!

Smashing their revision!

27th January 2026Miss Blackham

Not only are these superstars coming to school early every day to be a part of our pre-teach and completing daily work in their CPG books but they ALSO completed a revision extension as part of a consolidation challenge over the weekend.
An amazing example of ‘getting smart’. 10 crew coins each you superstars!
