Class News 2024-2025
Space Class Assembly
Year 5 blew everyone away with their amazing class assembly based on our topic of space. The children sang and danced in songs about the Planets, Sun and Dwarf Planets in our solar system in an ecletic performance which included classical, rock, pop and rap. They portrayed various scientists throughout history in a retelling of how humanities understand of space has changed over time. They also read poems and told some hilarious spacey jokes! Everyone was so proud of them, it was absolutely cosmic!
Earth, Sun and Moon Models
We made moving models to show the movement of the Sun, Earth and Moon in relation to each other. We were very careful to ensure all the elements moved correctly. I’m sure you’ll agree they are out of this world!
Cams Models - Pop Up Characters
This half term we have really enjoyed making pop up characters which operate using a Cams mechanism. We drilled, sawed and glued our designs together ourselves using a range of equipment and tools. Our designs were inspired by our Early Islamic Empire topic.
Firefighters Visit
We had a visit from Jim from Slaithwaite Fire Station. Jim taught us about the job of firefighters, fire safety, fire prevention, evacuation and bonfire night.
Hindu Temple Visit
We all enjoyed our fascinating visit to the Hindu Temple. Check out these pictures showing some of the activities we took part in.
Pilgrimage and History Tour
We learnt so much on our annual pilgrimage as this year we walked around Huddersfield taking in the sights and learning about the history of local buildings.
