This morning, as part of our reading lesson, we enjoyed visiting the book fair. It was great to see everyone sharing books with their friends and getting excited over new books!

XP Outdoors – Year 5 workshop
Today, our Year 5 Crews headed down to the XP Outdoors workshop for an exciting hands-on session in tool work. Working together, they learned how to safely split logs using axes and practiced their whittling techniques with knives. It was a brilliant opportunity to build confidence, and show respect for the tools — all while having fun outdoors!
KS2 Sports Day
Just a reminder to parents and carers about our KS2 sports day. Sports day will be on Tuesday 10th June on the KS2 field. Gates will be open from 12:50. Please enter through the main entrance on Middlebrook Lane. We are hoping to start at 1pm and finish before the end of the school day. There will also be refreshments on sale.
Children can come to school in their PE kits on Tuesday. Please make sure that all children wear trainers.
We look forward to seeing you on Tuesday afternoon!
Y5 Mining Expert visit was AMAZING!
Our children were extremely lucky to have a morning visit from Eddie and Tony, who are mining experts. We were wowed with mining tales, had the chance to view real life artefacts and hear all about their uses and asked lots of useful questions to support our learning. Eddie and Tony were such informative hosts and we are so thankful for their time and information!
Y5 Reminder
We cannot wait to welcome back Year 5 children for our final half term! We have a really busy few weeks with some changes to our usual routines so please ensure you keep an eye on our Blog and Diary Dates for information. This week, XP Outdoors will be Wednesday and PE on Thursday. Children will need their change of clothes on these days. See you tomorrow!
KS2 Disco!
Crew Walton do Pyjamarama!
This morning in Crew Walton, we are spending time together, enjoying a good book with a nice drink and a biscuit, whilst wearing our PJ’s…how lovely!
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

Y5 Act of good deed!
An enormous well done to Ellie-Mai, Samantha, Marnie, Natalia and Gabby who recently raised £41 for Cancer Research UK by selling handmade bracelets. I am so proud of your kindness!
