XP Outdoors- Year 5 Stretcher Making
This morning, our Year 5 crews took on a hands-on challenge that put their teamwork and problem-solving skills to the test. Tasked with rescuing an “injured” team member, each crew was given only one tool: rope.
With creativity and cooperation, the students worked together to design and build makeshift stretchers strong enough to carry their injured teammate to safety. It was fantastic to see the collaboration, communication, and critical thinking on display as they turned simple rope into a life-saving device.
Well done to all the Year 5 crews for showing such determination and teamwork!
Y5/6 Celebration Lunch

Crew Spetch – Using interesting vocabulary in reading!
This morning, we used a character description from our class text Holes to create synonyms to write our own description of a yellow spotted lizard. I was so impressed with the creativity of the vocabulary used! Great job everyone!
Proud Teacher Moment at the VE Day Service
Today was one of those days when you remember why you became a teacher!
Paisley, Erin, Myla, George, Olivia, Willow, Willow, Macky, Reeva and Gabby were invited to read a poem at the VE Day Memorial service in Thorne Park this morning and I was so proud of the children and the way that even the very youngest of them seemed to understand that although it was a celebration of the end of the war, it was also a solemn occasion which they were attending to show respect.
Winston Churchill once said – “Those that fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it’ – so the chance to attend events such as these where they can begin to understand the devastating effects of war will hopefully ingrain in them the importance of peace.
You were a credit to yourselves, your families and our school.
You were all awesome!

Crew Spetch – Job roles in the mine
This morning in our history lesson, we investigated the different job roles in the mine and discussed what life would have been like for miners.
We used our new knowledge of the different job roles to create freeze frames. The children loved this and I was really impressed with the creativity of their freeze frames! What a great discussion based lesson, it was great to hear all of your wonderful ideas!
Crew Spetch – Researching key dates in mining history!
This morning, we have researched key dates throughout history linked to mining. The children then used their research to create their own timelines! A huge shoutout to everyone for a great focus on their Craftsmanship & Quality!
Year 5 – Reading fluency pro’s
This week, we put our fluency skills to the test and the children worked in pairs to use fluency assessment grids to assess their partners reading. They used the grid to highlight and give supportive critique and feedback to each other. It was lovely to hear lovely, kind feedback being shared! Well done everyone!
