Y6: Transition fun begins!

The Year 6 children enjoyed a German lesson delivered by a teacher from Trinity Academy. They enjoyed getting a taster for what is to come next year!

Those children who aren’t going to Trinity also did a great job of joining in and getting the German experience!

On Friday, the children will get to experience Spanish lessons also delivered by the teachers of Trinity! We can’t wait!

We also had lots of HoWLs point winners for the children who have worked hard, being kind and got smart this week!

Finally, we celebrated our new ‘Out of this World’ children who will receive the yellow tshirt to wear this week! Congratulations to all the winners – it is thoroughly deserved!

Y6: Infectious Disease! 🦠🔬🩺

This afternoon in expedition, the children have been working in small groups to research a number of different outbreaks that have occurred throughout history; Polio, Covid-19, Ebola, Measles, Smallpox, Cholera and the Spanish Flu. They have been conducting their own research and creating posters that will then be shared with the rest of the class.

Y5/6 Family Learning!

Wow! Year 5/6 had such a lovely Family Learning event this afternoon! They were each able to choose an activity to participate in and each activity linked to our current expedition about looking after our minds and bodies.

The activities on offer were Zumba, football rounders, tag rugby, bench ball, outdoor cooking and making healthy meals!

It looked like all the children and adults were having lots of fun and it was great to see the adult participation. Thank you to all that attended and we hope you enjoyed it!
