The children in year 5 have spent this half term working on netball skills in PE. Today, we took advantage of a bright day and enjoyed an inter-class netball tournament. The children completed a range of activities including running drills and piggy in the middle. The two classes competed against ea
In Design and Technology, the children have been learning about moving mechanisms. They learnt that a mechanism helps an object to move. They used a slider to help propel the rocket across the night sky by moving it up and down. The children had to cut the rockets out and create a starry night time

Year 6 prepared the ground and the younger children placed in the bulbs, making sure the roots were pointing down. The ch
