This half term, 5 Blue have successfully achieved 5 weeks of 98% attendance or above… AMAZING effort!!!
As a reward, we have had an afternoon of Halloween fun, including making: Spooky paperchains, 3D paper pumpkin decorations and Halloween witch wreaths!
Topping off our afternoon of treats, we enjoyed a cosy hot chocolate (with spooky marshmallows!) and a Halloween movie!
A huge well done to 5 Blue and thank you to our parents and carers, for your continued support in our drive for 100% attendance!
Today Year 5 have taken part in an ICT workshop.
The children spent some time working with the Micro:bit (a tiny, pocket-sized computer).
Year 5 were able to use their coding skills and work their way through a range of different games, working collaboratively as a team. The children loved playing the rock, paper, scissors game and creating a musical melody with their Micro:bit.
The Micro;bit links to different curriculum areas and connects to hundreds of possible games.
Year 5 thoroughly enjoyed using these today.
and will definitely be adding one to their Christmas list!
A great week for those 100% attenders!
These children are “aiming to be the best they can be” attending school 100% last week.

This week Orla returned to school after spending a few months in Newcastle on the Shaun the Sheep Trial this summer. Phoebe, from 2 Blue, completed the whole trail, finding all 115 in the flock, and was rewarded with a lovely certificate which she shared in school today.
Year 5 received a very special package from N.A.S.A this week!
The special package contained lots of different artefacts linked to the moon landing and space such as:
- Images of the moon landing
- Moon rocks and scientific equipment to investigate with
- Blue prints of Apollo 11
- Video footage of the moon landing
- A 360 degree tour of inside Apollo 11
- Books about space and our solar system
- Newspaper articles
Year 5 spent time in groups exploring and analysing each artefact, writing down key questions they had about each source.
This provoked a lot of conversation around our space theme and encouraged us to think about different sources of information.
Attendance last week was very positive with all class above 92%, we had so many children with 100%, keep up the hard work.
