WELCOME TO SATURN CLASS - YEAR 5
Mr Moss
A MESSAGE FROM MR MOSS...
Welcome to Summer!
I hope you had a great Easter holiday and enjoyed the lovely sunny days we had.
We will be exploring the sensitive issue of migration in our English lessons this term, as we get into our new class book, 'The boy at the back of the class'. We return to the Victorian era to discover the stories of significant Victorians who opened the doors to our modern way of life, and will find out about how Brazil's plans to develop economically are impacting the people in traditional communities.
Dom and Hannah from Skill Supply will be returning to do a session called 'Drones and Domes' which will involve flying drones and engineering projects. We will also welcome back Aga and the musicians from the City of London Sinfonia, as we continue our musical compositions inspired by the machines and people of the Long Shop Museum.
And don't forget our musical production will be performed towards the end of the term.
It's going to be a packed term!
Mr Moss.

LONG SHOP SOUND MACHINE
We enjoyed a fabulous afternoon at the Long Shop Museum in Leiston, seeing live steam engines and live music! And a wonderful experience day learning about the campaign for women's suffrage.
POWER UP STEM!
Following our final Power Up STEM workshop day, you can now see the full range of engineering projects the children have been working on, from tech-card projects using hydraulics and pneumatics, programming micro-controllers to operate physical systems and finally coding drones and building geodesic domes. 'Skill Supply' have provided superb learning opportunities to the children and given them a window into the kind of roles they could find themselves in in the modern workplace.
