Years 5 & 6
Year 5/6 are working in Unity while holding their BHF Dodgeball Tournament. Remembering the 5 rules- dodge, duck, dip, dive and DODGE!! to raise money for the British Heart Foundation. Each team has come up with their team name, slogan and entrance music. All the children showed great teamwork and sportsmanship, encouraging and supporting whichever team was playing. Sponsorship amounts are starting to come in and the big total will be revealed in assembly.
Year 5 & 6 joined together to complete a day of activities, fully immersing themselves in their new project Blood Heart.
Following a carousel of activities the children worked scientifically to understand the human circulatory system. They learned where different organs were positioned within the body and how the heart had to send oxygenated blood to these and muscles too.
Another of the activities involved handling a sheep’s heart: taking part in a dissection and looking internally to identify the different chambers of the heart. Discussions were had to show understanding of how the heart and lungs work together to oxygenate the blood and the direction that blood passes through these chambers.
The final activity in the carousel was to work artistically and create a 3D model of a human heart: showing the veins and arteries.
A great Wow Event afternoon of testing forces in year 6. D&T skills to create a Ferris Wheel, loop the loop marble engineering and feeling the effects of forces on the body.
Year 5 and 6 are investigating the forces involved in inflatable games this morning.... and having a fantastic time.

Year 5 and 6 had an amazing morning with Simon from Polar Explorers. They demonstrated their own knowledge while having the opportunity to ask questions of a real explorer. The children explored a wide range of activities such as: testing their geographical knowledge and the location of the Poles, scientifically identifying animals who inhabited the regions, identifying hazards associated with polar travel and a final question and answer session.
Year 5 and 6 began their new project ‘Beast Creator’ with a mini-beast hunt in the school grounds-to help develop scientific language and determine how to classify the creatures into specific groups.

What an incredible day Year 5 have had at the We'll Meet Again museum in Freiston!
These 6 children were chosen by the Sergeant and his wife for fantastic manners, enthusiasm and answers throughout the day. They have been given a badge which entitles them to free entry to the museum for life.
Amazing day at the ‘We’ll Meet Again’ homefront museum! The children experienced wartime history brought to life as they experienced rationing, old toys and even marching!
Very poignant 2 minute silence at the Franklin statue this morning with the Spilsby British Legion. Impeccably observed by our year5 and year6 children who then went and visited the cemetery to lay wreaths and crosses on the war graves.
Yard drills, marching and good old fashioned games for our evacuation day!

It was great to welcome so many parents and family to join in with our junk modelling session. We drew designs of our ideas and used a variety of recyclable materials to create space themed models!
Two important visitors arrived at school today: Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn for our Tudor-themed costume day! The children (and staff) took part in different workshops including exploring weapons and armory, practicing writing with ink and a quill and a dance off.
