Our Courageous Swimmers

A huge well done to our fabulous Key Stage 2 swimmers this who demonstrated great courage against some really well trained competition this afternoon.

A special shout-out to Alec and Miksang who received medals for top three performances in their events!

Plant Propagation in Year 5

Today, children in year 5 learned about asexual plant reproduction – how new, genetically identical clones of plants, can be made. We learned about how potatoes, garlic and strawberries can all produce new plants through their tubers, bulbs and runners. Finally, we took cuttings of Pothos – a jungle plant – and placed them in water. We hope to see them develop roots and have some lovely plants for the classrooms once they’re ready!

Presentation Superstars

This half term, we’re delighted to celebrate two amazing members of 5L who have won the Half-Termly Presentation Award for their fantastic improvement in handwriting , George and Casey!

Over the past few weeks, both children have shown real determination to make their writing neater, clearer, and more consistent. Their hard work and focus have truly paid off, and their  books are a joy to read. From careful joins to beautifully formed letters, George and Casey have demonstrated the character trait of craftsmanship and quality – taking pride in their work, paying attention to detail, and striving to produce their very best every time.

Well done, George and Casey – I’m so proud of your progress, perseverance, and commitment to excellence. Keep up the brilliant effort!

Labelling the parts of a flower

Year 5 investigated their knowledge of plant reproduction today by dissecting the parts of a flower. Working in teams, they carefully took apart lilies and labelled each of their reproductive parts on the page. Well done for working hard with great accuracy!

5S are dramatic!

As a hook into our writing about the Amazon Rainforest, children today imagined, then enacted, their senses and emotions as they took a hike through the dense jungle.

Many children were nervous, apprehensive and scared, while others showed excitement for their adventure. It was great to hear you be so descriptive about your range of feelings, I can’t wait to read about them in your diary entries!

Our spelling bee champions!

We are so proud of all of our Year 5 & 6 pupils who have all shown so much courage during this week’s spelling bee. So many of our lovely pupils have been practising their spellings and this was evident this week.

Pictured above are our fantastic finalists who truly deserved their prizes.

Keep practising those spellings everyone. We are already so excited for our Christmas spelling bee and we have lots more amazing prizes to be won!
