Sharing Has To Do

  1. On the 31st of March the school football team had to play a league final match against school(Steven Freeman)at first the other school took the lead scoring two goals and then the rain and hail stones came, then snow, making the the match more difficult but it could only get worse.
  2. After half time we scored two goals very late on in the game and then it was a draw at the end of the game so we had to share the cup because there was no penaltys so it ended fine for both teams but the other school were extremely gutted when they lost the lead.

Fire, Fire!


On 25th of March the year got split into two groups to go to the oxford fire fire staton too be put through scenario that would have happen in real life. As you can guess we had a hard time thinking what to do at each scenario but we made it in the end. One of the favourite problems was in a dark ally way, Everybody had to go through and answer questions on the walls and all of a sudden a teenager came in the ally way and started to try and get our personal information. Many of us ran to call the police but there were some that got a bit carried away and started picking fights (joeseph, zach, harry, dan, james, joe and well i could go on forever) and then there had to be one that told them their name (katie!) Of course everyone was tired at the end of the day but it was great fun to look back on!

YEAR 5 TRAVEL TO SPACE FOR THE DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"Thats one small step for Year 5, one giant leap for Year 5 kind."

Our favourite out -of -this -world science activities included: The Leaning Lounge which suprisingly could make a ball roll uphill; a walk-in tornado; the water works that was a controllable water factory.

Brilliant Bushraft

Every Wednesday after school some of the kids do Bushcraft club. And all the bushcrafters have been busy this term making the willow dome. We have been planting, weaving and sculpting willow to make an amazing willow dome. Each week a group will do a section of the willow dome while all four other groups will be building shelters from sticks, logs and grass or making shelters to trap a mythical creature.
Soon we will have a finished willow dome and by the summer we will be able to have classes outside in it.

SPECTACULAR SCIENCE CLUB!


Thanks to lovely Mrs Omar, year 5 and 6 have had the opportunity to go to science club on Tuesday after school. We do truck loads of scientific things like: identifying our different taste buds, identifying the absorbtion of different types ofpaper and identifying the strongest and weakest magnet. IT IS REALLY VERY FUN!!!!!!!

Victory Here We Come!

Well we hope so!

This Thursday weve invited the teachers to come and get beaten in our year 6 vs Teacher competitive High 5 match! Last year the year 5's and 6's played this game but we wernt as fortunate and let the teachers win and this year it's game on! This year Mrs Manthorpe has only had a year 6 team and we hope this could be our time to shine.

The reason the teachers are so determined to play is because we've told them it's for Sport Relief so they have to bring along their pockets FULL of money! Mrs Manthorpe has given us a bucket load of tactics but we have a feeling she's all for the teachers and is going to pass them along. Fingers Crossed!!
