September 2025 update

Year 5 pupils recently carried out an exciting science experiment exploring substances, mixtures, and solubility. The class investigated how different materials, such as sugar, salt, coffee and pepper, behaved when mixed with water.
Working in groups, the children predicted which substances would dissolve and which would remain visible. They carefully measured, stirred, and recorded their results, discovering that some substances form solutions while others create mixtures that can be separated.
The experiment sparked curiosity and teamwork, with pupils discussing reallife examples like salt in the sea or sugar in tea. Their findings made science both fun and practical!

In Computing, the children have been having an amazing time planning and designing their
own 2D and 3D digital games! 
They started by dreaming up exciting storylines—complete with baddies to defeat, coins and power-ups to collect, and even spooky Halloween themes! 
Using coding and design tools, the children have built colourful worlds, animated characters, and tricky challenges to keep players on their toes. Their creativity, enthusiasm, and problem-solving skills have been fantastic to see. Well done, Year 5 - future game designers in the making!

November 2025 update

Year 5 took part in a fun and energetic anti-bullying workshop, using the acronym GROW to learn positive ways to build respectful relationships. Working in teams, the children even used their bodies to create each letter of the acronym, filling the room with laughter and creativity.
Through games, discussions and plenty of teamwork, they explored how to Give respect, Respond thoughtfully, Own their actions, and Work together to make our school a supportive, friendly place.
The workshop empowered students to recognise bullying, stand up for themselves and others, and help build a kinder community for all.
