The Alps- Tectonic Plates, by Miss Mulkeen
Date: 16th Mar 2017 @ 3:53pm
The Alps were formed around 30 million years ago, when two tectonic plates collided. As the two plates pushed on each other, the sediment buckled and the Alps were formed. Today we showed how this happened representing the Earth’s layers with four colours of salt dough and two piles to represent the two tectonic plates.

Jodrell Bank!, by Mr Jolly
Date: 16th Feb 2017 @ 5:13pm
On Wednesday 15th February, Year 5 travelled to Macclesfield to the site of Jodrell Bank, the 3rd largest working satellite in the world. At the time of opening, 60 years ago, it was the largest.
We had two workshops: Desitnation Space and Inflatable Planetarium. In the Destination Space one we looked at Tim Peake's mission and what astronauts get up to on the International Space Station. At the Inflatable Planetarium we went inside a huge bubble and saw what the sky was going to be like that evening as what we can see changes every night.
Please have a look at our pictures and a video of us creating fire!

As part of our R.E topic this half term, we have been learning about other countries and how they celebrate Christmas. To help us learn more about this we thought of lots of questions we wanted to ask a class in America and we got to Skype this class to ask our questions.

Working Scientifically, by Mr Jolly

5J have been looking at how the naturalists, in particualr David Atinborough, work. We learnt about what they do and how they go about their work. We then spent the afternoon pretending to be naturalist studying: lions, polar bears, frogs, sharks, gorillas and snakes. Finally 5J presented their work to the rest of a class, just as David Attinborough would in his TV documentaries.
5J Maya Workshop at Touchstones 17/11, by Mr Jolly

5J thoroughly enjoyed the trip. They learnt about the Maya houses for different classes of people and then made replica houses out of Lego. They also learnt about Maya food, smelling different spices from the region. They then explored what Maya Gods looked like, with the follow up activity involving sketching and clay modelling of a face.
Remembrance Day 2016, by Mr Whelan
Date: 11th Nov 2016 @ 11:43am
On 11th November at 11am we held a Remembrance Assembly so we could remember all those who have died, especially in wars. The Year 6 children had made poppy wreaths and we all listened to some poems, prayed and had a two minute silence.
We were very lucky to have Mr Murray lead our 2 minute silence by playing the 'Last Post' on the cornet. The "Last Post" is a cavalry trumpet call used in military funerals and ceremonies commemorating those who have been killed in war. He then finished the two minute silence by playing 'Reveille'. The two tunes symbolise sunset and sunrise respectively, and therefore, death and resurrection. Thank you Mr Murray!

At the end of this academic year we held a very special 100% attendance assembly - to celebrate those children who have made the excellent achievement of being in school every day for the whole year! Each of these children received a £10 gift voucher so that they could choose themselves a treat, and they were also entered into our golden ticket winner draw. Just one lucky 100% attendance child won this draw and an extra special prize! They were able to come with their family and Mr Whelan to Halfords to choose themselves their dream bike! As well as this they chose a helmet, lights, a pump and a lock! What an excellent prize for such a super achievement!!
Well done to all of our 100% attendance children - remember next year it could be you!
