Y5 have enjoyed taking part in Bikeability sessions this week. They have developed confidence when riding and learned new safety skills - especially when riding on the road. Some useful advice:
"Instead of putting your foot on the ground, put your feet on the pedals to start off." (Spencer)
"We learned about how to ride on the roads and how important it is to look when we are crossing." (Sukaina)
"Always remember to look at the road closest to you when crossing." (Rebecca)

His assembly was finished with a prayer of reflection.

On Monday we had a workshop all about space. The scientist was sat in a big studio which made it more interesting! It was really good - we talked about Hubble and Nebulas and about the Solar System. We also talked about James Webb and space telescopes. The best part was when we played a space loop game at the start because we learned lots of interesting facts. She told us about infra red lights - we found out that a glass can't be seen using an infra red light if there is a hot cup in front of it!
Thank you to our reporters: Spencer, Charlie and Bobby.

Year 5 enjoyed their Lego workshop which gave them chance to develop their design and technology skills to create a fairground ride.
This is what some of the children thought of the workshop.
PARKER
Thursday has been a great experience for Year 5 we have engineered Lego with codes. We made a fairground ride with Lego man Nick it was indescribable. I would rate it 10/10.
PIPPA
It was really fun to build and it was really cool how we could make it move and decorate it however we wanted. I give it 10/10. It was very intresting but it was a bit hard to make. We made a vertispin and it was really cool how it went up and down.

Tongan Rugby Team Visit
Some of our students had the fantastic oppurtunity today to meet some professional Tongan rugby league players. These players will be representing Tonga in the rugby league world cup. Their first match is on Tuesday 18th October so we are very lucky that they have taken time out of their busy schedule to come and visit us.
The children were very excited and got to ask the players lots of questions. At the end of the session, the players signed posters for the children and got photographs taken with them!
We'd like to thank the players once again. The children loved it!

At our Starbooks cafe this week Year 5 were given the title of a book - I ATE SUNSHINE FOR BREAKFAST. They predicted what the book might be about and everyone expected the book to be a fiction text. However the book was an information text - a celebration of plants around the world.
'I Ate Sunshine For Breakfast' is the winner of the Garden Media Guild Awards.
The children read extracts of the text to find out key facts about plants and nature. They used collage materials to present some of the fascinating facts from the book in an artistic way. The hot chocolate and cookies went down a treat too!
