What an adventure it has been for Year 5! Our intrepid explorers started their Wales journey with a trip to Black Rock Sands for lunch, followed by an exciting caving adventure! Themeparks, Rides, Sun and Sand were all on offer as Year 5 bounced, climbed, ran and walked their way around North Wales!

Great fun and exciting activities made this a trip to remember, with year 5 showing everyone why we are More than a School!

Each week, during our Friday Achievement assembly, we celebrate our ‘Pupils of the Week’ from each year group. Pupils are recognised for this weekly award for a variety of reasons and are nominated by their class teacher. They may have excelled in a particular subject through the week; may have shown one, or more, of the school values in abundance, or they may have impressed their teacher, or other staff members with a huge amount of effort. Whatever they are nominated for, they are recognised in the whole school achievement assembly, receive a certificate to take home and get to wear one of our prestigious black and gold t-shirts. 
During the assembly, we also celebrate children who have 100% attendance for the week and have been in school every day on time. A lucky dip, of all children who are eligible takes place, and one pupil walks away with £5 to spend on whatever they want, Standards and presentation of a child’s book, chosen at random, are also reviewed and celebrated with the school and the child, whose book has been chosen, has the chance to win a dip out of the basket of goodies, as long as they have used their best handwriting every day, completed their feed forward marking and taken care in the presentation of their date and learning objective. We are extremely proud of all of the efforts of our pupils and the Friday Achievement assembly recognises this pride.

Last week, Year 6 planned an activity/stall to host in order to raise money for their Year 6 production. This money goes towards our costumes and props for the performance at the end of the year. Throughout the week, our Year 6 children learnt about money management and how important profit margins are. It was a fantastic event where children from Reception to Year 5 all had a go, and we raised just under £200!

On Monday 3^rd June, we kickstarted our new term and new topic with an Ancient Greek-themed day! The children dressed up as ancient Greeks and completed lots of different learning. We solved a Greek treasure map in Maths, learnt about Spartan soldiers and what their school might look like and created a Spartan soldier contract. In the afternoon, we made our own Greek clay pots, considering what designs and patterns we wanted to use, and what shape we wanted our pots to be.
