Bikeability

At the start of the term, Year 5 had a week of 'Bikeability' where they re taught basic bike riding skills, as well as taught how to check their bikes to make sure it safe. After this, the children were taken off site on their bikes, learning the rules of the road for a cyclist and how to stay safe whilst out and about!

Kents Cavern trip

As an immersion into our Blue John sequence in English, Year 5 took a trip to Kents Cavern, where we took part in a woodland trail, artifact handling and most excitingly, we got to explore the caves!
