Year 5 are reading the novel Street Child by Berlie Doherty in their English lessons. We have been using different drama techniques to explore the characters.

We worked in teams to research Ancient Greek fashion, toys and games, sculptures and architecture, food and homes.  We created posters and presented our work to the class.

Cherry Class enjoyed tasting different Greek foods as part of their research for Design Technology.

Year Four spent the day living like an Ancient Greek! 

We prepared and cooked flat bread, participated in the Olympic Games and learnt a Greek song. 

Poplar class served a 3 course meal for the wildlife today. 

For starters we made the birds Pine Cone Feeders. The main course was a delicious kebab with a selection of fruits, seeds and bread. Pudding was a healthy choice of an apple filled with seeds. 

We hope the birds give us a 5*…

Year Four have been given their brass instruments today!

The children have a selection of trumpets, cornets, baritones and trombones. 

Welcome to our 9 Poplar Trombone players! 

Year 5 have made a great start to their Thursday afternoon P.E. sessions in the glorious sun! The children have listened well and worked hard to apply the skills being taught. 

Poplar had the task of searching the school grounds for a variety of invertebrates today. 

We thought about the type of habitats we could find these creatures in.

We then classified the creatures that we found and considered why they liked their habitat.
