Year 5 are exploring life cycles this term. We’re starting by looking at the life cycles of plants. Our allotment is full of plants with fruit and seeds after a warm summer. Some slugs are enjoying the cabbages as well, as you can probably tell from some of the facial expressions!

Year 5 have enjoyed exploring observational drawing and different media when drawing this week. We’ve used pencil, ballpoint pen, marker and charcoal to mark make and looked at the work of artist Olga Gamynina.

We’ve been making the most of the sunshine while it lasts and our play leaders are doing a great job at engaging younger pupils in the games, reading and crafts available at playtimes.

We can’t wait to see what the rest of …

What a brilliant end to the year with our trip to Hardwick Park! The children were absolute stars – well behaved and full of curiosity.
