The Great Hannah More Soup Off!
23 September 2015Back in Spring every class planned a soup! They decided on ingredients and planted them in our raised beds. This week we had the great soup competition - we called it a "Soup Off!", Classes harvested the vegetables, peeled, chopped and sliced them and made big bowls of soup! Trevor and Mr Webster were the judges - taking tiny tastes of all the delicious soup! Enormous crocodile class won the Soup Off with their tompato, peper and carrot soup.

Year 5 Dove brave the high wind!
21 September 2015Year 5 Dove had another successful week sailing where they braved the high winds and rain and set sail on the river Avon once again. It wasn't all plain sailing as the wind picked up halfway through our session and sent a few boats capsizing... with all sailors returning to land safe but a bit wet! Mr Schoner and Lisa were particularly impressed this week with the childrens' determination and resilience when faced with these challenges. Check out some of their photos below from the session.

Year 5 Owl go sailing again!
15 September 2015
Year 5 Owl went sailing again today! This time they raced against each other using paddles rather than the sails. This was so that they could get used to the boat rocking and become more confident next week. They also learned what to do if boats capsize and some of our brave children practised this! There are more photos below of our exciting sailing lesson.
Year 5 Owl create leadership crowns
13 September 2015
On Wednesday 9th September, Year 5 Owl Class learned about how Queen Elizabeth had become the longest reigning British Monarch - beating Queen Victoria's record of 63 years, 7 months and 2 days! We watched the video below about the changes that have happened in the UK since her coronation.

We then thought about the qualities of good leaders and used this to create our own 'leadership crowns'. Each table created their own adding skills such as being resilient, an ability to keep calm, to give clear instructions and to listen to everyone.
We are looking forward to wearing our leadership crowns during group work soon!
