Crew Oldridge’s Experiments
Crew Oldridge had a busy couple of weeks conducting experiments including evaporation, filtration and the Muddy Water Challenge to separate the components of muddy water using the knowledge they had acquired during the week. Clearly, these ‘Science Hook Days’ were enjoyed by all! WE ARE SCIENTISTS!
Year 5/6 – Community Meeting!
On Monday, we had our first Community Crew Meeting since Christmas, it was lovely to see everyone together again and celebrate the great start to our learning in Spring term!
A huge shout out to everyone who received HOWL point certificates and especially our Crew Champions! An added shout out to Miss Barnett’s Crew for their impressive Howl point total!! I wonder if anyone will top it next week?!

This term, Year 5 will be continuing XP outdoors with Mr Kershaw. This will now be on a WEDNESDAY morning! Please can children bring a sensible and warm change of clothes and shoes as they will be outside.

Year 5 – Harry Potter Studios 🧙🧹💫
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
Can you spot your quidditch photo in the folder?
Year 5 – Harry Potter day – Potions 🧪
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! 🧙♀️🧙
Our amazing year 5 and 6 art gallery
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.
Check out the link to see photos from the night.
Crew 5/6 Community Crew Champions ✨
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!
Harry Potter Day – Year 5 and 6
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
