Last term, the children in Year 5 designed and built bottle rockets as part of our DT project. Today, we all went onto the field to test out our creations and see if we had managed to hit the design brief.
After a few failed attempts and some spectacular launches, we evaluated the effectiveness of our bottle rockets back in the classroom.
Here are some photos and videos of our rocket launches!

I hope you are well.
We have recently dealt with several concerns with the use of WhatsApp amongst Year 5. I thought I would provide families with some useful advice for this social media platform.
We would strongly recommend that you are vigilant about messages that are exchanged on WhatsApp.
Please note the recommended age for WhatsApp is 16+.
Take care
Mrs Moody
Good Afternoon 😊
Hopefully you have all had a lovely Easter break and are ready for summer term.
Please can I remind all children that PE kits should be brought into school on a Monday and can be taken back home again on a Friday.
Tomorrow, 5N and 5OP will have PE so please remember your kit!
We are looking forward to seeing everyone back in school tomorrow 😊

As part of the Yr 5 summer Design and Technology project – Bird Boxes – Mrs Jones requires some bits from home. Every child will need to bring in a small box e.g., cereal, toothpaste, gift box etc , ready for Monday 24th April. The children will then be able to investigate how boxes are made.
Kindest regards

Unfortunately Mrs Wood’s girls football club for Yr 5/6, which was due to start on Monday 17th April for the girls already signed up, will now commence on Monday 24th April. Mrs Wood will not be here as she is attending the Manor Adventure Yr 4 residential.

Please find links below for updates to admissions for 2024 entry:
Today and tomorrow we’re working on our bottle rockets designing and making. For Friday’s lesson we are hoping to make our bottle rocket.
Apologies for the late notice – the website hadn’t pushed out this message – the children may need (and I appreciate – only if you have them!) a plastic bottle, some stiff cardboard, masking/duct tape and anything else they may find in your recycling bin!
They will be working collaboratively – so please don’t worry if you haven’t all the bits!
Kindest regards and apologies,
Mr M
On Thursday afternoon Year 5 will be going on a local area to visit to St. Andrew’s Church, Church Aston – a religious building which is not St. Nicholas” church. Being a local visit all consent was given at the start of the school year as part of the information pack.
We will leave school straight after lunch and we will be back before the end of the school day.
Good Afternoon,
Following several queries about Year 5 Homework, I would just like to clarify that the homework sheet handed out in January is ongoing for the entire Spring Term.Â
We have not sent out any spelling words to practice this half-term but children can continue to practice their Year 5/6 spelling words and handwriting as much as they feel necessary (these are the spellings that they already have throughout their homework book).
Please can we ask that homework books are handed in next week by Thursday 30th March.
Have a lovely weekend!
Year 5 team 🙂
