Year 5 have had a great first week back. A particular highlight was our fantastic art workshop with visiting artist Liz Hunter, where the children created some truly impressive pieces themed around nocturnal animals. We were so pleased with not only the high quality of the artwork produced, but also the incredible effort and focus shown by everyone involved.

In Science, we’ve been continuing our learning about living things by exploring the stages of human physical development. The children have also been investigating the question: Do animals with longer life expectancy have longer gestation periods?—a thought-provoking enquiry that sparked some great discussion and curiosity in class.
