Fin impressed Poplar class with his knowledge of electrical circuits last week, so he was awarded Scientist of the Week. 

He was also able to identify the possible hazards in the classroom using Scientific vocabulary. 

Well done Fin! 

Spruce class have fully embraced Children in Need Day 2021. We all enjoyed our morning quiz workout with Joe Wicks!

Poplar Class were invited to perform at the Winter Gardens Dance Festival. 

They have spent weeks practising and perfecting a dance routine, choreographed by Miss Anderson. 

Last night, they performed to an audience of over one thousand people and did Heyhouses extremely proud!

Spruce have enjoyed analysing several computer games in their computing lesson today. They considered how difficult the games were, whether there were clear instructions and how they might be improved. As our lessons progress, we will be designed our own games and evaluating each others.

Spruce class have made felt poppies which they have been proudly wearing this week. We have also read and performed John McCrae's famous poem 'In Flanders Fields'. The children copied the poem into their English books and decorated it beautifully.

Poplar Class have appointed their class council this week. 

The children in Year 5 have made a great start to life in the upper juniors. From learning to play the ukulele to using drama to explore the plot in our class novels. It's been action packed!
