Today (Monday 30th April 2018) Year 5 went on a trip to the Botanic Gardens in Leicester. What a wonderful experience! We learnt all about plants and animal life cycles. The Botanic Gardens aim to bring a global perspective to the curriculum, especially in environmental and development issues and they have been awarded the Learning Outside the Classroom (LoTC) quality badge and the Growing Schools awards.

This week we have been lucky enough to participate in an Antony Gormley workshop. KS2 at Bishop Creighton Academy had the chance to create some special clay work, that will be displayed at an exhibition in Peterborough City centre in April. 

At the end of last half term, Year 5 created their own shaky hand testers. A shaky hand tester game  is a steady hand game that is well known to many as a table top amusement. It is a challenging and competitive game, where you are playing the number of touches against time. The player has to get the right balance between speed and skill in order to obtain the winning score.

Last week from 13th - 17th November was Anti bullying week. Year 5RC took part in anti bullying day activities, where by we wore odd socks to school by showing 'we are all different but the same'. Read on to find out more!

This week in Theme we researched why the Poppy is a significant symbol for remembering wars and soldiers. We then used it as a source of inspiration to create some art.
