Thinking about racism
We have been learning about and reflecting upon what being anti-racist means & made personal pledges to act upon racism.
Discovering India
Year 5 have been taking a 'virtual' tour around India. After visiting the Taj Mahal and the National Gandhi museum, we have sampled mouth-watering samosas and aromatic potato curry. The children awarded our chefs 3 Michelin stars!

Making Viking poo!
Visit to Perlethorpe
An amazing (slightly damp) day out at Perlethorpe Environmental Education Centre with Magnus the Viking. We enjoyed hearing about the history and mythology of the Vikings, made Norse inspired jewellery and constructed Viking settlements in the woods.
Viking Boy
Year 5 spent an afternoon in the woods. We collected firewood, lit a fire using a flint and steel and settled down around the fire to listen to the first chapter of 'Viking Boy' to kick off our Viking topic.
Speak out, stay safe
Year 5 had a visit from Buddy and representatives from the #speakoutstaysafe programme this morning. We discussed our rights to speak out and be safe, to be heard and to get help when we need it.
