1st Autumn Beach School Session

Year 5 have had fun with their Beach School learning today.

Continuing with cross curriculum learning, the children were challenged to produce various 3D shapes which were able to stand alone. Budding architects and engineers were given materials and were tasked with an assignment to design, build and work together. This resulted in some fabulous structures that each group were proud of.

The session concluded with a game of "Fish tag" - encouraging each child to think about names of fishes.

The children were thoroughly engaged throughout the lesson and are looking forward to their next beach school lesson.

Spanish Lesson Outside!

Year 5 have been able to make the most of the sunshine as their learning was taken outside for their Spanish lesson.

To reinforce what they had learnt in the classroom, a fun game took place outside between two groups where someone from the team had to be the first to reach Senora Dixon with the Spanish word of a body part name that she had given  in English. The first person to her with the correct Spanish word and pronunciation won a point for their team.

All of the children engaged in the challenge with great enthusiasm.
