Y5 Science - with Crackers & Jam!
In our geography lesson, the children used crackers and jam to model how tectonic plates move. The jam acted as the mantle, while the crackers represented the plates. By pushing them together, pulling them apart, and sliding them past each other, the class learned about convergent, divergent, and transform boundaries. The simple, hands-on activity made the concept clear—and the pupils enjoyed the messy fun! Great job year 5, Miss Anthony.

The pupils were highly engage
Y5 Drumming Workshop
Year 5 took part in an exciting music workshop today on Monday 17th November, where they explored rhythm, timing, and the use of space while learning the importance of listening to one another.

The room was filled with energy as the children collaborated, smiled, and clearly enjoyed the experience.

We used chalk to make firework pictures, ate edible sparklers and collaged our own Guy Fawkes characters.
