In Reading, we’ve continued diving into our Pledge book, Which Way to Anywhere by Cressida Cowell. It’s a thrilling adventure filled with imaginative worlds, alternate maps, and courageous characters. We’re thoroughly enjoying the plot’s twists and turns, as well as the meaningful themes it explores.

In Design & Technology, we’ve been learning how pulleys work. Using cardboard, string, and a hot glue gun, we created our own pulley systems to lift a toy car — a fun and hands-on way to explore mechanical systems.

In Science, we’ve been studying the eight planets and discussing what happened to Pluto. We also explored what life might be like in space, especially aboard the International Space Station.

Geography lessons have focused on the pressing issue of climate change. We’ve discussed its causes, consequences, and the steps we can take to help protect our planet for future generations.

One of the highlights of the week was our end-of-year dance performance of Annie. We gave it our all and loved performing it for our parents — a joyful way to celebrate the end of the year.

Next week, we begin our journey into Year 6 with our new teacher, Mr. Hebb. We’re excited and curious to see what the year ahead will bring!
