Year 5 Sharing our Learning

On Tuesday 3rd February, Year 5 were excited to invite their parents and carers into school to share their learning.

We showed off many of the things we have been learning about during our Space topic. There were
demonstrations of our spelling practice and research skills as well as showcasing our reading and comprehension. Parents and carers also enjoyed being taken orienteering in the hall.

Rock Concert

Since October our rock band children have had 30 minute weekly sessions with their Rock Steady band leader, Rob, and have been learning their instruments
and practicing together as a band ready for their first ever concert.
On Wednesday 17th December 2025, that concert took place and wow we can’t believe the progress they have made. These children, as young as Reception, have
never used these instruments before so to be able to play them and perform on a stage in front of parents and families is absolutely phenomenal!
Well done everyone – you have all done amazingly!

Year 5 parent-child Lego workshop

On Thursday, year 5 family members came into school to take part in a Lego workshop with their child.
The challenge was to make their name in Lego (there are no rounded pieces in Lego so they had to think outside the box).
They also had to make their own sealife creature and then the group had to guess what it was.
Then they had 3 minutes to pick 40 bricks and make their own unique piece of Lego art.
They had to make a transporter for a Lego character to travel on a zip line above crocodile infested waters.
There was smiles a plenty and lot’s of creativity from everyone.
Thank you to all the family members that came along.
