We have celebrated the end of the term (and year) with showing our work to parents. We sung, read, played and performed all of our favourite learning from our renewable energy topic with pride!

A Year 5 Celebration!
This week we invited our families into our classes to take part in our celebration event for our ‘Saving Our World’ topic. We have been looking at an artist that uses snare pictures so decided to recreate our own by decorating table cloths to show the story of fair trade. We had a great response from families. Thank you to everybody that has supported our learning this year!
Mathematical Potatoes!
This term in Friendship class we planted potatoes, this week we picked our potatoes and used them to do some estimating and weighing in numeracy. Next week we are going to use our potatoes to make Homity Pie.
A Fair Trade Cafe
We’ve been creating our own Fair Trade cafe this week. Here you can see us dividing large numbers in order to solve how much different items cost individually. We’re choosing when to use different resources to help us and when these resources make our maths more difficult!
Sentence Construction
This week we have been working hard on our different types of sentences. We are really improving our understanding and have been working on using different types of sentences to describe the rainforest.
A Visit to the Eden Project
This week we went to the Eden Project. We had a brilliant time and saw lots of amazing things. Here is Saunton family group enjoying a rest in the bamboo house!
A Year 6 Celebration
This week saw the culmination of our tourist development project. All our family and friends attended a special celebration event, during which we presented our ideas. The audience were very positive about the work that we have done and voted on which they thought was the best proposal.
A Year 6 Celebration
This week we enjoyed our celebration event with our parents. We have been working very hard creating and designing our own new tourist attraction for Westward Ho! There were seven companies: PGL underwater, Westward Pier, Jet Wicked, Funky Festers, Cowphant, Crazy Kayak and Tsunami surfers. Each group calculated costs to make and run the attraction and estimated profits. They then presented their ideas including a short animation of their attraction. Parents said all the ideas were fantastic and they would visit the attractions if money were no object and they could be built.
Looking After Our Teeth
In Science this week we have investigated the effect of drinks on our teeth. We were shocked at the damage sugary drinks did to our teeth. A lesson to us all to cut down on sugary drinks.
