Thank you

Below is an image from our recent class worship all about Kofi Annan. The children completed lots of research themselves and learnt about a person of the world that served many others, providing human rights opportunities to others.

Below, images from our recent Science investigation - all about parachutes and air resistance. We discussed how all forces are in a battle. in this one, gravity wins - while the parachute drops, but up thrust (Air resistance slows down gravities pull) eventually equals gravity as it lands on the ground. Children investigated a range of ideas from parachute size, shape, number of string and material condition.

We have used the new Orienteering course in school 4- 5 times already. We have used it for Science, - Friction, Maths - Place Value and Square numbers. Before we did those activities though -we had to spend time finding all the controls! Thanks to the PTA for the investment.

Below, in PSHCE we have investigated the importance of First Aid, the importance of using a good sleeping pattern and friendships - including online and offline secrets.

Below, we began this year looking at CPR. This went from the moment you find an issue and complete a site safety survey, to seeing is person is still breathing and placing them in the "Safe position" and then concluded with CPR - assisting a person's heart to move blood around the body. As always, I hope they never need to use it, but if they do they can help. Well done year 5!

Welcome to the new year. Thank you to those able to attend the Meet the Teacher meeting earlier this week.
