It has been another super week of hard work and positivity in Junior 5. Niamh and her little brother have been busy growing lots of vegetables in the garden during lockdown. They've grown potatoes, carrots, green beans and strawberries, and they seem to be growing really well at the moment. Niamh has also been learning about muscles and exercises, she tried to do some bicep curls with some tins!
There has been some great science work about photosynthesis from lots of children across the year group, so well done.
It was Millie’s birthday on Sunday, and she started the day with some birthday pancakes. Once she’d opened all of her presents, she had an amazing surprise when some of the girls in her year group did a ‘drive by’ with banners, cards and pressies – this was probably the highlight of her day, and she was ever so grateful! This is definitely a birthday Millie won’t forget in a hurry!
Lots of families in Junior 5 have been getting back to nature: some taking lovely, long walks together, while others are cycling together. Jasper cycled 27 km to Draycote water and back home again; an amazing achievement. Well done, Jasper! Helayna and her family walked 4 miles daily during half term; Maria walked 2 miles through the woods, which sounds delightful, and Maxwell walked 10 miles over the weekend and says he is planning on walking 100 miles during the month of July, for charity (yet to be chosen) – watch this space for updates! Check out the gallery for photos.
Amelia and Leyton celebrated their parents’ anniversary in style – they dressed up and made a restaurant for them to enjoy!
George is very pleased to announce that he has two gorgeous new Bengal kittens, Esme and Iris.
Well done to Isabella and Maria for being our Stars of the Week.
