5/6M Forces in Science

We’ve had a busy and fun afternoon investigating the effects of air resistance in Science.  First, we felt the force of air resistance on the playground, then we explored the impact of surface area and finally made paper aeroplanes to determine the impact of a streamlined shape moving through the air.

Father Chris leads our RE lessons in Years 5 & 6

Thank you Father Chris for coming in to help us to develop our understanding of salvation. We thought about four pictures and interpreted these in our own way, recording our ideas in the four parts of the cross. Well done Iris, Ernie and Eleanora for some super examples of work.

Year 5 Walk through the Bible

Well done Year 5, for working so hard with David to learn 40 key words and actions, to remember the journey through the Old Testament.  Every Year 5 child was presented with a certificate and their own book, generously provided by Church of the Ascension.  We were filled with pride watching you perform all you had learnt to the rest of our school.

5/6M Book Club

This week, our theme for Book Club is picture books. We enjoyed sharing a variety of picture books with each other and talked about how picture books can be for everyone, including some of the more sophisticated ones where the reader also becomes the author, telling their own unique story, using the pictures.  We’ll continue to share these books for the next few days.  The children are also welcome to bring in their own picture books to share if they wish.
