While the rest of year 5 were at Harvington Hall, children in 5T transformed a pile of cardboard boxes into these incredible Tudor houses. I am so impressed with the hard work that went into these – just look at that attention to detail! I hope you are all very proud of what you have […]

5E were tasked with building their own machines to transport water from the River Nile to land. Using inspiration from the shadufs used in Egypt, we explored the use of levers, pivots and counterweights. Ingenuity and interdependence was shown by everyone, producing some really unique devices. Amazing work and effort 5E!

The final project for our Vikings learning adventure has been to create 3D models of Viking settlements. We’ve been considering the key aspects of the human and physical geography of a settlement. Can you spot how and why the land is being used, any economic activity and the role water plays?
