This morning, Jason, our Crew Councillor taught us all about Christingle. He showed lots of courage standing in front of the class to share his knowledge. A huge shout out to Toby too who knew lots about the religious tradition! We then made our own Christingle’s and they look fab!
This week, Year 5 enjoyed a magical day at Warner Bros Studios for Harry Potter in the snow! What a fantastic day we had and lots of beautiful memories made! Thank you to all of our parent helpers for volunteering to come and support – it wouldn’t have been possible without you 💫💫
Please check out all our fabulous photographs in the folder below: Harry Potter – Photographs

We’ve had a great day at Hogwarts before our day at Harry Potter Studios!
See you all bright and early at 6:45am for the coach in the morning!
This morning, we took part in potions lessons, Harry Potter Style!!
We worked in groups to come up with creative potions and used gross ingredients like elf snot, pixie brains and unicorn blood to create some very disturbing mixtures!
If you find yourself transporting or turning invisible it might be down to our witches and wizards in year 5! 🧙♀️🧙
Last night we held a wonderful art gallery to celebrate our expeditionary learning. The children’s artwork looked amazing displayed in frames they had made and decorated themselves. It was fantastic to see so many members of our families join us in the hall last night to share in the children’s learning journey. There were many proud faces – both children and adult – along with lots of words of praise for the children’s achievements. Thank you for the donations made; we will be giving this to the World Wildlife Fund to support endangered animals.

Wow! What an absolutely beautiful Community Crew Meeting this morning in Crew 5/6! It was wonderful to hear of all the amazing learning everyone has been doing and how our award winners have demonstrated our Character Traits this week!
We had some extra special shout outs and mentions for our Crew Champion winners! What a lovely start to our Thursday Morning!
On Monday 11th December Year 5 and Year 6 are having a Harry Potter day, where they will take part in a variety of themed activities linked to the film/book series. The children are invited to come dressed up in clothes linked to Harry Potter if they choose; please note there is no expectation for you to purchase a costume for this themed day.
When we visit Harry Potter Studios, it will be the ‘Hogwarts in the snow’ experience. As part of our themed day, we would like to watch the film ‘Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire’ as it has a number of winter snow scenes. The film rating is 12A – if you would NOT consent to your child watching this film, please let your child’s crew leader know as soon as possible so alternative plans can be made.
Thank you
The Year 5 and Year 6 Staff Team

It might still be November but we have already started the winter and Christmas themed arts and crafts! I love how independent you all are at being creative – each week you all produce your own version of our themed task. Check out our wonderful winter wonderlands!
