In our final week of the spring term we have had a number of special activities. We very much enjoyed watching the Year 3 and 4 classes presenting their production of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat. Everyone did really well. We also had a visit to the Nottingham Royal Concert Hall. The Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain were presenting a concert there and, during the afternoon, they offered a performance workshop to children of local schools. Our Year 5 were able to join about five hundred other school children, all bringing ukuleles, and we had a great time listening to the  Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain and joining in to play some pieces together.

At school, we completed our English work on explanation writing and started a new maths unit on number work and decimals. Having finished designing and making our bridges in technology, we finally managed to test them this week. We tested them to destruction across a 75 cm gap. Bridges were given points for design and for construction and were also weighed so that the strength to weight ratio of each bridge could be calculated. We also finished our unit of work in ICT which has been about controlling events. In our final activity we had to make a series of procedures to control an animated advertisement involving sound and movement.
