Staying safe around water

At this week’s swimming lesson, as part of drowning prevention week, Year 5 worked with the teachers to understand the key aspects of water safety, and learning to swim when they are fully clothed. Every child fully understood the importance and was able to articulate well how they could remain safe.

To supplement this, we created water safety posters in our we care Wednesday crew session which are now on display at the leisure centre, well done!

Crew Schofield prepare for VE Day

Today in crew, we learnt about the significant event of Victory in Europe day – the events leading to and the subsequent celebrations of the end of World War Two. We then consolidated our knowledge by creating posters to decorate the classroom ahead of the 80th anniversary celebrations tomorrow.

I look forward to your designs forming part of our party decorations tomorrow, well done!

Activism in Year 5

A massive well done to year 5 who joined the council and police neighbourhood teams yesterday to complete a very thorough litter pick in our local neighbourhood. It was wonderful to see you all working so hard to make Intake a better place!
