A group of 30 enthusiastic pupils from Years 4, 5 and 6 travelled to Birmingham’s BP Pulse Live Arena to take part in the incredible Young Voices Concert. After months of dedicated rehearsals in choir club since September, the children represented the school beautifully as they performed alongside an astonishing 6,941 pupils from choirs across the country.
The atmosphere was electric, the singing was spectacular, and it truly was a once in a lifetime experience for everyone involved. The children had a brilliant day and embraced every moment of this unforgettable event.
A heartfelt thank you goes to all staff and pupils whose hard work, energy and enthusiasm made the day so special. It’s an experience we’re sure they’ll treasure for years to come.
Year 5 Owls’ Class kicked off their Science learning with a bang through an inspiring trip to the National Space Centre, which included an immersive planetarium tour of the planets. This experience helped the children enormously back in class, where they confidently ordered the planets from the Sun using the mnemonic My Very Easy Method Just Speeds Up Naming. They also compared the length of each planet’s orbit and spotted the clear pattern that planets closest to the Sun have much shorter years.
Further investigations led them to explore early ideas about a flat Earth by observing how shadows behave on flat and curved surfaces.
The children have also learned about satellites, discussing the difference between natural and artificial ones and how each plays an important role in our understanding of space.
