On World Book Day yesterday, we dressed up as our favourite characters from books. Someone even dressed as a wardrobe from The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe! 5 people were Oompah Loompahs and Willy Wonka was there too!
We had a “Bringing Books to Life” dance workshop. It was about Charlie and the Chocolate Factory by Roald Dahl and we performed how the story went. We were split into groups to make the machines from the book. It looked amazing when we put it all together.
We made review videos in computing. For example, one group used Toco the toucan and described him. After we filmed the videos, we had to edit them by using iMovie so we could add transitions and sound effects. After we made our videos, we watched them all as a class.

Here are 3 examples:
We had karate black belts come and teach us how to punch kick and more.
We have been doing gymnastics in PE. We did partner work with hoops and ropes.
We also have been practicing dodgeball. Some people went to a dodgeball competition and we came 3rd and 4th !
When we came back from the winter holiday we did 2025 art. We did graphite styled art!
In Geography we discovered that Europe has a bigger population than north and south America!
In English we have been writing action scenes! We even did an obstacle course and pretended we were in an action scene!
In PSHE we have been doing life saving like the recovery position which is for people who are breathing but unresponsive.
In music we have been going to year 6 to learn how to play guitar and the drums!
In French we learnt how to say what the weather is like a French forecaster.
In computing we have been learning video techniques and doing reviews on different things!
The day started by walking to the Ashleigh primary school. It was a pretty hard walk and when we got there it was worth it. We first started by walking through the school and seeing where we were going to play our matches. As we looked around, we went inside the hut where we put our lunches and bags. We practiced our passing and reaction in hopes this would help us win. After that, We had our snacks and then did a practice round until lunch. We had lunch in the small hut. After lunch we had a little time to play before our matches . After every game we shook hands with our opponent teams. At the end we played against our own teams and had loads of fun. At the end Ashleigh won by 1 game but we came 2nd but we all enjoyed it and tryed our best. Overall it was a lot of fun and we hope to go another time!

A trip back to the very old Norwich Castle for Year 5, to learn about the even older Ancient Civilisations!
“Our trip to Norwich Castle was great! We learned about Ancient Civilisations and more. First, we learned about how to farm and that we need ‘irrigation’ for our plants to grow. Next we learnt about ‘old time’ writing and that if we didn’t have writing, it would be HORRIBLE. Then we learnt about philosophy and putting forward our point of view. Then, we did building. We learnt how to make an arched bridge with – and for a challenge – without support. Finally, we had to plan and make an ancient city with bricks, thinking about where to put crops and different buildings. There was 16 in our group so it was a challenge!”
Thanks to everyone at Norwich Castle for a really great experience and to the Friends of Browick Road Primary and Nursery School for funding our coach ride there!
Music: We learnt how to sing the song, ‘Ghost Parade’, (Molly-Rose) and we learnt the ‘tempo’ of music (Klay).
Art: In art, we learnt about abstract art and an artist called ‘Friedensreich Hundertwasser'(Isla). He liked nature but hated straight lines (Willow). We used a viewfinder to find a small piece of his painting then drew it onto a paper and painted it unusual colours (Banjamin). We did it small then bigger – it was really fun (Katy).
PE: In PE, we went to the leisure centre in Wymondham for our swimming lessons (Alarna). It is a great way to exercise (Mabel). We got to simple and fun floats (Hugo). I tried to do a dive but ended up doing a roly-poly jump! (Lauren). In rugby, I enjoyed being a tagger pulling the tags off people’s velcro belt (George). In the first few weeks of Year 5, the sports leaders were revealed as Freddie M, Elliot, Isla, Evangeline, Ben, Bertie and Mabel (Freddie).
Science: We have been up to a lot of stuff including mixing salt into water to make an egg float (Bertie).
French: In French, we have learned the numbers 1 to 31. I used to only know up to 10 (Matt).
History: In history, we learnt about the Ancient Greeks and their gods. The Gods I like are Zeus, Poseidon and Hades (Penny & Willow).
English: In English, we have been doing story starters and all of the things that go in them (Elliot).
Maths: In maths, we are learning about rounding up or down to 1,000,000 (Willow).

Our first week in year 5 was amazing. We wrote about what year 5 would be like and what we wanted to achieve. In DT we drew self-portraits with pencil. Then we went onto to the field to make our portraits out of nature. Can you guess who is in the picture? In art we designed our art book covers with water colours and sharpie to outline. We took inspiration from a video which helped us to understand how to make an ombré of water colours . We also made our own FIFA cards – we are still learning about modesty. And thats what we did in our first week of year 5!

A busy term of science has had the children learning about the life cycle of plants and the things they need to grow. One of the lessons involved them dissecting a flower to discover the different parts involved in pollination. We also explored how light allows us to see, or how the absence of light inhibits our ability to see. Then we finished this week by investigating shadows.
We had a fun day completing a carousel of activities in celebration of the upcoming Olympic and Paralympic games in Paris. The children did boccia, seated volleyball, running races, javelin throwing and tri-golf as well some creative torch and medal making activities. The day was bookended by an opening and closing ceremony to talk about the core Olympic values of EXCELLENCE, RESPECT and FRIENDSHIP. A really fun day all round.
Year 3 have had fun practising their circus skills this morning. They got to balance peacock feathers, juggle juggling balls, spin plates, ride stepper pedals, use stilts, twirl ribbons and perform stunts with flowersticks. At the end, they were treated to a special performance which included some highly suspenseful knife juggling!
