On Wednesday 7th May, Year 5 had a fun event at school called 'Bags of character'. In this event, we had to get into groups of 5 and 6 and completed five challenges. There was a skipping challenge where two people were swinging a giant rope and the others had to jump it, a blindfolded challenge where we had to guide our partners carefully to 'safety', a connect four challenge and a colour challenge where we had to try and remember an order of set colours. We had to work well as a team and show our 'working together' learning behaviour. We had lots of fun! - Eva (5W)   

From the 28th April - 2nd May, Year 5 have been taking part in something called Bikeability. On day one our two instructors called Tina and Rory kept us on the playground where we learnt about the basics of cycling on roads. We learnt about signalling to other drivers, checking behind and the difference between sharing and control position. On day two, we began to cycle on the roads and going up against real cars! At times, it was nerve-racking but once we got the hang of things, it was easy. Thank you to Mrs Fordham and all the Year 5 adults for planning and organising it for us. It was really fun!  - Jack D & Scarlett H 5W
