Year 5 had some exciting visitors staying with us at the beginning of this term – caterpillars! This has helped support our learning of lifecycles in Science. We’ve watched as they’ve grown tremendously in size and changed colour, and both classes were lucky enough to see them form their chrysalides. We weren’t so lucky to see them emerging in real time, however Miss Carson and Miss Small were able to capture some videos of them which we were able to watch. It was really exciting witnessing the caterpillar/butterfly lifecycle. We then released them; they all flew off into our trees and bushes around the site.

We’ve also been busy this term finishing our Vikings topic, combining the topic with DT to create Viking board games. The children used the knowledge they had learnt about the Vikings to help create a variety of board games all about Viking life. There were some very creative ideas!

We also enjoyed a visit from HSBC. They talked to use about being savvy with our savings and to make sure we are always looking for the best deal to ensure we get the most for our money!
