Read and Relax

After an exciting session preparing for World Book Day, Crew Schofield relaxed with their friends and a favourite book this Wednesday.

5S Dancers

5S had a great P.E. lesson this week as we pulled together our learning from the dance sessions to perform our routines for classmates – it was great to see your well-timed, thoughtful and counted choreography!

The world of shadows

In an exciting hands-on science lesson, 5M have been exploring the intriguing world of shadows! As part of the case study, they have been experimenting with light and shadow to understand how shadows are formed and how they change throughout the day.

The children loved coming up with different idea and poses to create fun and imaginative ways to interact with the light.

Does light travel in a straight line?

Today 5M carried out an exciting science experiment to explore the fascinating world of light. The focus of the experiment was to observe how light travels in a straight line.

Giving back to our community

Yesterday, Year 5 students took part in a rewarding and impactful litter-picking activity to give back to our local community. With bags in hand, we spent the afternoon cleaning up the local area, showing that small actions can make a big difference.

Year 5 litter picking- tomorrow afternoon

Just a reminder that Year 5 children will be engaging in acts of service tomorrow in our community and they will be joining local council workers to litter pick around Intake. This it to promote the importance of looking after our community.

Children will need a coat. If you havenā€™t given your permission slip to your class teacher already, please ensure you do tomorrow.

Disneyland Paris 2025 parent drop in- Monday 24th February 3-4pm

I am offering a drop in session for parents to pop to see me if they have specific questions regarding the Disneyland Paris trip. A formal meeting will take place once the exact timings have been confirmed with the company for each day/activity. This will not be provided to us as a school until the summer. However, we do have a rough itinerary.

The trip will take place on Monday 10th November and children will return home on the evening of the 13th of November. The trip will include a full day in Disneyland Paris, a day in Paris and the two travel days will consist of team blinding activities at the centre such as rock climbing, the big swing etc.

Rooms and groups will be decided in the autumn as we appreciate it is still a while away and friendships change.

Please note you are welcome to email any questions you have or pop to see me in 6B. I just wanted to offer a date where parents could come face to face to ask anything they need.

Thank you for the support with this school trip.

Votes for Women?

Today, we debated Women’s suffrage. 5S got into character to imagine the perspectives of those who may have been for and against the rights of women to vote in the early 20th Century, holding a heated debated in our class parliament to present their views.

It was brilliant to see such passionate acting from both sides, all using their boards and placards to articulate the point of view of their chosen side.

Well done!

Safer Internet Day 2025 (5S)

The children engaged brilliantly today to articulate ways in which they can remain safe online.

We discussed how to keep an eye out for scams, phishing, and other ways to protect ourselves and our information – always ensuring we have a safe and enjoyable experience while using the internet.

I was really impressed with the amazing ideas from the class, you are clearly all very aware of your responsibilities when staying safe online – keep it up!
