Year 5 Symbols

Year 5 students have been working on creating symbols to represent the word "deadly" as part of their English unit. Through exploring the text Come Together, they are developing a deeper understanding of the word's meaning and how it is used in different contexts. 

Year 5 Poems

Year 5 students have been exploring poetry by writing slam poems, haikus, limericks, and sonnets focused on important world issues. After studying the text Spotlight by Solli Raphael, they have used their creativity to express thoughts and feelings about topics that matter to them, while learning different poetic styles and techniques. 

Visual Arts

In our ocean-themed art unit, students have been sketching whales while learning about the pollution and plastic in the water that affect these majestic creatures. They have also been creating beautiful turtle artworks using sketches and watercolour paints. 

Year 6 English

After studying the unit Queenie in Seven Moves, students have been creating posters and writing personal narratives inspired by the themes and characters in the text. This work encourages them to express their ideas creatively and reflect on their own experiences, deepening their understanding of the story while developing their writing and design skills.

Science Lessons

In our science unit on solids, liquids, and gases, students have been busy exploring the properties of different materials. They even conducted an experiment to test the viscosity of various liquids, learning how some flow more quickly than others. 

Mathematics Lessons

In our maths lessons, students have been working in groups to practice measuring skills, applying their knowledge in practical activities. They have also enjoyed playing partner games focused on factors and multiples, which help reinforce their understanding in a fun and engaging way.
