Previous events

IPC – Fit for life.

Our IPC topic has been very enjoyable for the children.  They have found out about how exercise affects the body and learned about balanced diet, healthy choices and achieving a balanced life.   We have also been lucky enough to have Akiko come in to share her knowledge about our host country, Japan.  The children had a great time dressing up in the Japanese dress, learning a few words of Japanese, finding out about diet, lifestyle and the varied geography of Japan and exploring the artefacts Akiko brought with her.

Upcoming events

Next term (spring 2) Year 5 will be moving on to the topic of “Our Place in Space”. This will focus on learning about the Earth, Sun and Moon. We will be focusing on Greenland as our host country, comparing it to the UK and also looking at the day and night patterns in the land of the 24 hour sun.  This topic will also provide us with the opportunity for our first educational visit of year 5. On Tuesday 15th March Year 5 will be going to the Observatory Science Centre at Herstmonceux in East Sussex. Details will be sent out after half term.

Next term will also see us preparing for our year group production. Roles have been given out and children with lines to learn will have their scripts for over the half term break. We will be performing “What a Knight!”  A play based loosely on Camelot and the legends of King Arthur.
