  Science - Asexual Reproduction

  Posted by Mrs J Clarke

  In science today, we have been learning about how different plants can reproduce through one parent plant. To support this, we looked at a spider plant with a runner and took clippings from it to plant more spider plants. We will now aim to take care of these to help them grown for the rest of the term.

  World Book Day 2026

  Posted by Mrs J Clarke

  Today we celebrated world book day. In year 5, we have been looking at the book 'Love is...' by Sarah Maycock. We used this as inspiration to create our own book based on reading. The children chose their own reading quotes and then used water colours to create an image. One of the quotes was: 'Reading is like breakfast on a Saturday morning'.
