In Year 5 we have been making CAM toys. We have researched what a CAM toy is and designed them with our unique ideas, considering who we were making it for. This week we have been painting the outside and creating the inside of the toy. This required us to use saws safely! We got to choose the shape of our CAM and this will change how it moves. We have had fun and look forward to seeing the end design!
Our history topic this half term has been the vicious Vikings and we were fortunate to receive an exciting delivery from archeologists! We were able to explore and uncover different Viking artefacts and discuss what they might have been used for such a clay wine glass and drinking cups make from ivory. Some lucky children also had the opportunity to try on some Viking clothes and we were able to discuss the different roles of Viking men and women.
A polite reminder to ensure your child brings their water bottle into school with their name clearly labelled. No juice or flavoured water is allowed, just water.
Thank you for your continued support.

Year 4 had a great time visiting Spotland Library this week. The librarian gave us a short tour of the library, explaining how the books are organised. The children really enjoyed sharing their love of reading with their friends and teachers.
As the children were really keen to join the library themselves, we were given membership forms to share with parents. We were also told that you can borrow or reserve eBooks and eAudiobooks using your online library account! The children have all borrowed a book of their choice to take away and read in their spare time.
Each week we will be including a ‘Parent Page’ as part of our newsletter. These pages aim to give you information about key aspects of school, or your child’s development, to support you further at home. If you have any ideas as to what you would like to be included please let us know. We are obviously still available to be contacted at school if you wish to discuss anything about your child in further detail.
Well done to the following children that have been selected to sit at the Captain’s Table.
