What a lovely day at Tropical World today. The children have learned lots about how we classify animals and how some species have adapted. The talk at Tropical World was fascinating and we all learned so much from the incredible knowledge shared by the staff. Then, after a lovely lunch, we looked around Tropical World. It was wonderful to see such a wide variety of animals and the biomes they are found in. I was really impressed with how the children read the information boards and really wanted to learn more about the species they were looking at. Their participation in the workshop was also superb and we had wonderful compliments from the staff. A special shout out has to go to Cole, who took his role as the meerkat very seriously! Here are the first batch of photos, Mrs Keir has some that I will add on tomorrow. #LovePlover

On Tuesday, we raised awareness of Internet safety, especially whilst playing online games. The children spoke honestly and respectfully, and gave very grown up answers. What impressed me most was the way they resolved to make a change to the way they played games online. #LovePlover

This afternoon, we enjoyed grappling with a different type of grid. This time, we used sudoku grids! Lots of the children were really excited about these and definitely needed to grapple with them! #LovePlover

This week Y5 have been grappling with the grid method. I am really pleased with the progress they have made! #LovePlover
