The rain didn’t stop 5S being active!

This morning’s awful weather threatened to stop our P.E. plans, but we weren’t deterred – instead, we became active in the classroom with some games and practicing mindfulness and flexibility with a yoga session.

Matilda Club

In the Spring and Summer term, we would like to hold a ‘Matilda’ drama club.  This will be open to all of Key Stage Two (Years 3, 4, 5 & 6) and held after school on a Thursday. The club will consist of a range of musical theatre skills such as; singing, dancing and acting, with the end goal of putting together a production of Matilda the musical.

If your child is interested in a place in this club, please return the letter given out by your class teacher before Friday 10th October.

Pride of Plover

Well done to our second recipients of Pride of Plover in Years 5 and 6, keep showing those great HoWLs, we are so proud of you!

Ping Pong Pete

Yesterday, Year 5 had great fun playing Ping Pong with Ping Pong Pete! The children were full of energy and enthusiasm as they got stuck into the game, and it was wonderful to see how quickly they picked up the rhythm and the new skills.

Everyone really impressed me with how well they listened to each other. They worked hard on taking turns and waiting patiently, which made the activities run smoothly and kept it fun for everyone. There was lots of cheering, encouragement, and laughter as they practised new skills — and they soon showed they were pretty good at it too!

Playing Ping Pong with Pete gave the children the chance to practise important skills like coordination, timing, and teamwork. It was also a fantastic way to build confidence, as each child had the chance to step forward and join in.

Thank you Pete and well done, Year 5 — you showed great focus, cooperation, and enjoyment. I can’t wait to see you developing even more new skills as the term goes on!

Gorgeous collages

Year 5 have been getting creative in art, inspired by the brilliant artist Clare Youngs. Clare makes colourful animal collages using lots of different shapes, patterns and textures – and we decided to have a go ourselves!

Our theme was rainforest animals. We created creatures like butterflies, jaguars, toucans, birds and monkeys. First, we drafted our ideas and sketched out how our animals might look. Then came the really exciting part – working with a partner to create a final collage together. It was great fun to share ideas, combine our designs and see how two brains could come together to make one amazing piece of artwork.

The finished collages are bright, bold and full of rainforest life. They look incredible on display and really show off our teamwork as well as our creativity.

We’re so proud of what we’ve made – Clare Youngs would be too!
