Y5 Planetarium

A GIANT inflateable planetarium whisked Year 5 away on a journey through the solar system and beyond.

This out-of-the -world experience was brought to the school hall by 'Space Odyssey' - a mobile planetarium run by Simon Ould. We learnt about the Sun, Earth and Moon as well as the other planets and stars. We were able to see a 360 degree view of the solar system above our heads!!! It was a super start to our space theme.

Year 3 have been busy making Roman Shields as part of their Roman Invasion theme. They thought about the properties of the materials that the Romans would have used to make them really strong.

A Roman Soldier came to visit and brought his full size shield! After he shared lots of information with us about the soldiers and the army, Year 3 went into the hall and learnt to march like soldiers. They made a 'tortoise', this was how the Roman army sometimes marched to protect themselves.

Coalway Chess Club is up and running and pupils are having great fun leaning how the different pieces move around the board. The league will be starting soon and there is some great competition ahead. Good luck to all who are taking part but remember, the most important thing is to learn the game and have fun!

Year 3 have had a lot of fun learning French with pupils from Lakers. They have provided lots of fun activites and games to help us learn our colours and answer questions about ourselves.
