Science - Life Cycles

One of the Science units in Summer term is learning about Life Cycles of different groups of animals and plants. This year, Y5 were lucky enough to have witnessed the life cycle of a butterfly; they managed to grow 6 butterflies successfully from the larva (caterpillar) stage! They were all very excited to release them this term, too!

Sports Day!

We are looking forward to seeing you all at Sports Day again this year. 

Science - Our Bodies

Another exciting unit in Science in Y5 is when we learn all about "Our Bodies". Children particularly find it fascinating learning about the blood; Y5 made their own "blood" this term, choosing items that would represent platelets, red blood cells, white blood cells and plasma!
