On Monday the 13^th of November, Year 5 had an ancient Greek day. The whole of year 5 came to school dressed up as a Greek person. Firstly, we made up a play about Jason and the Golden Fleece. It was funny because Miss Thompson had to be the huge, fire-breathing dragon. After that, all the classes went and did different activities: Quizzes, an Archimedes puzzle and a game of Petteia.

When all the classes came into the hall, we held an Olympics (Athens vs Sparta.) We learnt how to fight like a Greek warrior and destroy the Minotaur and throw the hoop on the bull. This was the best day ever!

Moon Buggy Week

The week before half term was moon buggy week in Year 5. We learnt about the history and the purpose of moon buggies. Then we made our own model moon buggies in pairs. As well as learning Design Technology skills, we also developed our understanding of our three school values. Our favourite parts were making the frame with a glue gun, wrapping mostly everything in foil and sawing the wood for the frame. Mr Thurlow, Mrs Rymer and Mrs Kent helped us with the sawing and glue gunning. Here are some photos of our construction and our finished moon buggies. It was so much fun!
