Year 5 Anglo Saxon "Haka" War Dance Creations!

Year 5 enjoyed creating their Anglo Saxon "Haka" style war dances yesterday!   A haka is a ceremonial Māori war dance or challenge. Haka are usually performed in a group and represent a display of a tribe's pride, strength and unity!   They were all fantastic!    Mrs Blomeley 


Anglo Saxon Weaving in Year 5!

As part of their Anglo Saxon topic, Year 5 learnt how to weave!  They had to concentrate to make sure the wool was threaded the right way but the class enjoyed watching their creations grow!  They even asked to arrange a lunchtime weaving class!  Watch this space!  Mrs Blomeley


Anglo Saxon Day - "CHARGE!"

Year 5 put their shields, swords and helmets to the test yesterday!  When it stopped raining for ten minutes, they re-enacted a battle between different tribes of the Anglo Saxons!  They were extremely sensible and safe but had the best time ever, chanting and charging along with their weapons!  What a great time they had!  Mrs Blomeley


Science Challenge: what could this be?

I would like you to use your scientific observational skills to look at the image. What could it be? What does it make you think of? 

Can you describe the colours, textures and shapes that you can see? 

If you think you can guess what the image may be please come and let me know or tell your class teacher. 

I will the reveal the answer soon in an assembly...

Praise Pathway

This fabulous idea taken from Muddy Church webpage promotes for Palm Sunday creating a Positive Pathway.

Imagine walking past this on a driveway.

Everyone can benefit from hearing and seeing positive messages.

At home can children create their own positive pathway? Can they share it with their class teachers on our learning platform Seesaw?
