Have a look at some of the things we have been doing in our lessons this term...

We have completed our SATs!! Well done to all the children for their fantastic attitude and resilience they have demonstrated. We are so proud of you all! We celebrated by destroying all of our past practise papers from our mock weeks.

We kick started our Science topic on the human circulatory system with an exciting VR workshop taking us on a journey through our heart, lungs, arteries and veins!

In Science we have been deepening our understanding of electricity which we learnt about in Year 4. We have drawn our own circuits using electrical symbols and investigated how the number of batteries affects the loudness of a buzzer. We then applied our knolwedge to make our own 'operation' style games.

We ended our History topic on WW2 with an immersive theme day where we dressed up, built our own Anderson shelters and had a VE day street party!

To celebrate Remembrance Day, we created blackout poetry using some famous war poems such as In Flanders Fields, For The Fallen and We Shall Keep The Faith.
