Year 5 had a fantastic trip yesterday to Castleton, the Peak District. They went deep underground, taking the boat through Speedwell Cavern. They also had a walk (HIKE!) up to Peveril castle where the views were beautiful.
STEM Week, by Miss Horvath
Date: 7th Jul 2021 @ 12:43pm
Year 5 had two fantastic visitors today to kick start our STEM week on Monday. This morning we enjoyed a visit to a planetarium which took us on a visual journey through our solar system. The children consolidated their previous knowledge from our topic Earth & Space and even got to ask real scientists questions about what lies beyond our solar system.
In the afternoon, we took part in a workshop hosted by a science teacher from Wellacre Academy where we explored diffusion and discussed how diffusion works in cells. To demonstrate diffusion, the children poured warm water onto skittles to see the process happen. They were then shown some cells under a microscope to see how cells absorb into different parts of the body.

Computing in Year 5!, by Miss Horvath
Date: 14th Oct 2020 @ 5:54pm
This half-term Year 5 have been learning all about YouTubers. Who they are, what they do and how to be safe online when creating content for YouTube.
For this topic, the children had to create their own 'YouTube' style video. They could either create one about our school or on 'What is a YouTuber?'
They then had to use iMovie to edit their video independently!
Here are just a couple for you to see. We personally think they're all fantastic! Enjoy :-)

Online Learning How to Guide, by Miss McEvoy
Date: 11th Jun 2020 @ 7:04pm
Here is a how to guide on accessing home learning, which will be starting on Monday.
The video shows you how to gain access to google classroom and google meet (hangouts). We give instructions for using a laptop or a phone/tablet.
If you follow this guide and still need some further support, Mr Tarry and Mr Ward are running a support session at the school office tomorrow (Friday 12th June) all day. Please bring along your devices or laptop and they can help you log on to make sure your child is ready for their lesson on Monday or Tuesday.
**Please note school wifi will not be available to use. If needing help with a laptop please bring a phone which can be used as wifi**
Just a reminder that these lessons are live and need to be accessed at the time your teacher had texted you. They cannot be seen later in the day.
Also we will only make the link/code visable just before the time. Each teacher will post an announcement with the link and code for the children to see. The week after it will be a different link/code so please always check back on the classroom before each online lesson.
We hope the video is useful
