Big Me Day
In March 2020, the whole school took part in a Big Me Week and raised money for Action Aid. For a day the children came into school dressed as what they would like to be when they are older and visitors spoke to each class. Year 5 were lucky enough to speak to David Callaghan, Chair of Governors, about his careers as an electrical engineer.
Henley on Thames Rowing and River Museum
In February 2020, Year 5 visited Henley on Thames Rowing and River Museum as part of their Geography topic on Rivers. They took part in a variety of activities about the river and went on a walk about the Thames path.

DT Pots

Coding Workshop
In January 2020, Year 5 took park in a BBC Micro-Bit Coding Workshop run by Hertfordshire’s SETPOINT. They learnt about real life uses for coding and had a chance to write their own code to program a Microbit which then controlled a series of LED arrays like you would see on the motorway to inform traffic.
