Changed Setting

The setting has been changed so that there is no need to have a Google account to post a comment.

Welcome back!

The heating is all fixed and the classroom lovely and warm.

Everything is back to normal - well almost! You will spot a couple of changes in the morning. Photos will be posted once the children have seen the changes in the morning.

Remember the treat on Friday for all children who attend all week and are on time!

Reminder!

Year 5, remember that your science projects are due in on Monday!

Moving out and planning an assembly

Wednesday saw us yet again moving out of our classroom. Hopefully by half term the heating will be fixed and our classroom can once again become an Antarctic Base Camp - only with lots of heating!

In between moving, assessment and an expedition we also managed to learn a dance for our class assembly.

The message of our assembly was to spread the Good News and God's love. We did this  by writing our own bidding prayers and through a lively dance.

 All classes will be collecting 5p's for St. Cuthbert's Care 5p bus during Lent.

Our Great Expedition

Wednesday saw Year 5 undertake an expedition to the school Wildlife Area.

It was a very cold day and there had been lots of rain the night before. We all got a bit muddy! Like true explorers observations of the local weather and plant life were undertaken. One team also investigated perimeter.





We also met up someone who inhabits the Wildlife Area and was interested in our food supplies - Martha, the sister of Mary Mouse.

Judo Trials

Another active day today.





The class had a taster judo session. There was only one bumped nose and all the children enjoyed themselves. Later in the afternoon we continued to learn the dance for assembly on Friday.

Tomorrow is our great expedition!

Mary Mouse is on the ice

On Friday morning we received exciting the news that Mary Mouse is now an Antarctic explorer. She was finally on the ice. We look forward to hearing about her Coldest Journey.

You can follow the whole team at http://www.thecoldestjourney.org/

The class is going on an expedition of its own next week. This is so that all have the experience to apply for a job as the Eighth Team Member. The job adverts are almost finished, but all say experience is needed.

We also hope that Martha Mouse will also join our expedition. She will certainly have something  to tell her sister Mary.

More news later in the week...



What a busy week!

Last week was a busy week!


Monday saw us out and about in the forest. For those who know us, we do enjoy learning outdoors. This time it was how to make a journey stick, story telling and an investigation.

On Wednesday we spent time with the Year 4 class as part of our RE.  We had the opportunity to question Mr Hargreaves who is training to be a deacon in our diocese. There were a few tricky questions but fortunately Mr Hargreaves was able to answer them all. The children made notes and the class then followed this up by writing a report on the role of a deacon.


Our thanks go to Mr Hargreaves for taking the time to come into school before going to his office.
