Carols at the Memorial Hall

 

Today Year 5 entertained the local residents of Thurnby as they tucked into mince pies at the Memorial Hall. The class sang the carols beautifully on stage and were treated to drinks and cake after. What a lovely festive morning it was.  

The Boy at the Back of the Class

 

We have been reading The Boy at the Back of the Class, by Onjali Q Raúf. Ahmet, the refugee from Syria who the story centres around, is given a pomegranate by a classmate. Today we tasted pomegranate. It was very messy!

Bridge Building Day

Year 5 were very lucky to have a special guest visit for the day, to help with their bridge building project. Thank you Mr. Cheyney, we had the best day! Make sure you scroll down to see everything that we did.

Tested until destruction…
We gradually added weights to each bridge until it collapsed! All the bridges carried at least 1000g, and the winning bridge supported 1900g! It was very tense! There were prizes for the top team in each category. 

Testing…

Ready to Test!

Our bridges were tested on a specially built structure with a 45cm gap. The bridges also had to accommodate the lorry with an additional 500g weight. 

Our Champion Teams!
