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!

Crew Rodgers Magic Maths Shout Out!
Yet another super-proud teacher moment in Crew Rodgers this morning as we marked our weekly Magic Maths quiz. The test comprises of five addition and three 10 times table equations which need to be completed within 30 seconds to help improve the speed of the children’s calculation skills. Although our Crew has made massive improvements to our results since we began the tests last September we have never had everyone achieving perfect scores…until today that is!
As we marked each equation together the excitement built and built as we realised we were all getting every answer correct and after the final answer was announced the room erupted. The children were jumping around hugging each other and one little boy was heard to say, “Its just like Christmas!”
I couldn’t be prouder of my little maths wizards and the way they celebrated their achievements with their Crew mates!

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!
