DBJA Potatoes
Mrs Dawes and the Eco team have been working hard in our garden and they are now beginning to reap some of the rewards.
You may have noticed the black bags in the quad with green plants growing out of them. Well these were actually potatoes and last week some of them were ready for harvesting.

Walls and Barricades the “Big Wall”
The new topic in Year 5 is Walls and Barricades which is all about famous walls and castle defences. To kick off this topic each class built a wall out of junk material. We evaluated our walls against three criteria. Which was the biggest, which was the strongest and which was the neatest. The children in each class worked really well displaying fantastic team work.
Holly classes’ wall was definitely the biggest.
Hazel classes’ wall was definitely the neatest.
We have yet to test it for strength. Watch this space.

Moving Toys
As part of our leisure topic, Year 5 created their own moving toys. First, they had to investigate levers to learn how to make the toys move. Then they had to decide on a theme and a target audience. The results were outstanding. Click continue reading to see all of their fantastic examples.

Year 5 Leisure Topic
Our Spring 1 topic was based on leisure activities. Year 5 were tasked with a homework project to produce something which showed what they enjoyed in their leisure time. In spectacular Year 5 style the children with the help of their parents produced some fantastic responses. Well done Year 5.
