Year 5 had an amazing opportunity yesterday to speak to Jon Mars from Axiom Space based in Houston, Texas. He told us all about their plans for space cities and how they are currently building the next space station due to be ready by 2030. It was so inspiring hearing about all the different roles within the space industry and the future of space exploration.

Wow! Firstly, a huge thank you to our parents for the extremely generous donations of rainforest fruits, it really did look like the Amazon rainforest in Class 5 today. We couldn’t have done this without you.

I am so proud of the children for trying so many different fruits and many exotic ones that they haven’t tried before, they even drank fresh coconut water- they were amazing!

The children enjoyed preparing all of the different fruits, creating their own recipes and blending the fruits to make their smoothies. Each child, then taste tested the 5 different smoothies and rated them on the appearance, taste and texture. Some were a hit, some not so much! Well done class 5!

We also had a great service led by Bishop Phillip for St George's day celebrations. Being honest, i wish I'd done more for St George's day - my fault . Sorry. I'll sort it for next year. Theres a lovely gallery of photos of the Eucharist, of which we do one a half term...... the next one will be glorious, as those Yera 6's who are confirmed will be able to receive communion in school.  The photos are on facebook, and Web Gall.
