Weekly Review:

Year 5 have had such an excellent end to term 3! Where do we begin? We enjoyed a wonderful trip to the Royal Harbour academy to use their cooking facilities to make our delicious spring rolls. We travelled to Canterbury Cathedral to learn about the Anglo-Saxons. We enjoyed a costume trail, looking at artefacts and becoming historians for the day. It was wonderful to see the children engaging in discussions about what they had learnt this term. We also re-enacted the Battle of Hastings with our amazing shields that we had made as part of our homework.

Have a wonderful half-term - we are so proud of you!
