What an exciting start to our week in year 5. We kicked things off with maypole dance practice. The children have already made great progress and are starting to build confidence as they learn the patterns and movements. In spelling, we got creative by building our very own glossary of homophones. The children worked hard to explore tricky words and deepen their understanding. The highlight of the day was definitely our DT learning! After exploring simple machines last week, including pulleys, levers, and linkages, the children have been learning how these mechanisms help us solve real-life problems. We explored how pulleys can make lifting objects easier by changing the direction of force, how levers help us move heavy loads with less effort, and how linkages create movement by connecting different parts together. Today, the children worked brilliantly in groups to design and build their own pulleys using everyday materials. It was fantastic to see their focus, teamwork, and problem-solving skills in action as they successfully created systems strong enough to lift a cup of marbles. There was so much excitement and pride when their designs worked and plenty of fun along the way too! A truly fantastic day of learning, creativity, and collaboration!

Year 6 loved practising their golfing skills in PE. We discovered lots of new techniques: how to hold a club and scoring during a game. We're almost ready for next year's Masters tournament

Last week was a beautiful week to be out in the woods the sunshine made it even more special! There were lots of new skills being learnt and practised. Children worked incredibly hard using flint and steels to ignite fires, showing patience and determination, with some also exploring palm drills to create their own spinners a real test of coordination and perseverance. We also took time to notice how much our site has changed, spotting lots of new spring growth and even discovering a badger sett that appeared over the Easter holidays a very exciting find! A brilliant week of learning, exploring and enjoying the outdoors together.

Fun in the sun with this week's OPAL. OPAL helps children build trust and social confidence, forming strong connections with their peers.

Spring has sprung down in Fledglings! Our learners are full of excitement and curiosity as they make the most of the sunshine, spending more time exploring and discovering in the garden

Kingfishers had a fantastic start to the term during Arts Week, where we enjoyed getting creative and making our colourful carnival bird puppets. It was wonderful to see the children's imagination and enthusiasm shine through in their exciting designs.

We in year 4, have been busy exploring screen printing techniques, including creating carnival-themed masks and printing our own T-shirts using the screen printing method. We have also been learning some fantastic dance moves choreographed by Motionhouse. We are very excited to share all the amazing moves we have been practising. However, the best part of this week has been about making friendships and improving teamwork! and it has been a real joy to learn and have fun alongside our friends from Wroxton.
