What a busy term we have had! Here are some of the highlights...
Titanic
We have been learning about the Titanic, through Literacy, History, Geography and even Art. The children have been allowed to become more independent in their learning and to research their own interests. They have really enjoyed this topic, and to conclude, performed an assembly to the school, parents, and Mrs Thompson, our year 5 Governor.

Where The Wild Things Are
Six students from Newman College came into school for a week to work with children from Reception to Year 6. They delivered an exciting, fun-packed week of activities based around the well-loved book "Where The Wild Things Are". The activities covered all areas of the curriculum and gave the children a wonderful opportunity to develop their independent learning.
The children show-cased their work with a whole school assembly at the end of the week, when each year group was presented with a carefully thought-out activity bag made by the children.
Rainforest Animals
Year 5 have been studying the Rainforest. We have had a visit from the animal man, who brought along animals, reptiles and birds from the rainforest. We were able to learn about them and handle them. Have a look at the pictures - weren't we brave?
Sound
We have investigated the topic of Sound. We made telephones using yoghurt pots and string and tested them out around school. Science lessons are fun!

Year 5 are studying rivers as a Geography topic. Mrs Cooper organised a trip to Callowbrook to help us investigate our topic. It was great to get out and about and we learnt a lot too!

We were so happy to see the return of Professor McGinty, he did not disappoint, and we had a fabulous morning of fun, learning all about the Ancient Egyptians. Some of us even got to dress up! Take a look at our photos.

Year 5 have been learning about Rainforests in Geography. We had a visitor to tell us loads of interesting things about the animals that might live there. It was great to get so close to some animals we've never seen before.
Art Club painted a Rainforest banner, we are really proud of how it turned out!
5ET gave an assembly to parents about the Rainforests. We loved showing the school the things we have learnt.

On 5th November 2008, twelve Year 5 children took part in an athletics festival held at Waseley Hills High School. There were children from other primary schools in Worcestershire at the festival. They completed a range of activities which required them to use their athletics skills. Hurdling, javelin throwing, shot putting, running and long jumping were all included in the festival.
The children represented the school tremendously! They all showed great sportsmanship and were polite and kind to the other children and members of staff. They performed very well and each child collected points for their houses. The final scores revealed that Ash were victorious, scoring the most points overall.
Oak, Elm and Beech followed closely.
Miss Harrison and Mrs Penfold were very proud of their athletes. Well done to everyone who participated!
