Year 5
Weekly Update - Friday 26th September 2025
Summary of this week:
We have been immensely proud of the children for their engagement and conduct this week. On Thursday afternoon, the children completed a parachute experiment where they had to protect an egg. The children displayed fantastic levels of creativity to plan, design and build their parachutes. This was followed by an equally amazing day on Friday where the children learnt about the Anglo-Saxons during their workshop. The workshop lead commented how brilliant all the children were throughout the day- I hope they enjoyed it! We hope you all have a lovely weekend when it arrives.
Many thanks,
Mr Lowe
