✨ Year 5: DT, maths and science round-up! ✨ In DT, we've been building free-standing wooden towers, inspired by New York skyscrapers. We've learnt that hot glue is hot (doh!) and that resin pets are everyone's favourite decoration. 💅 In maths, we ditched the maths books as a Friday treat and learnt about factors and multiples with a little help from the whiteboard pens. 🥳 In science, we've been learning all about space and recapping our understanding of the solar system with some hands on activities. 🌕 Well done, Year 5! You're all gems! 💎

This afternoon,20 of our KS2 children took part in a cross country event at Staddiscombe! A fantastic effort from all our runners 👍 👏

Introducing our Kindness Postbox at Manadon Vale! We are so excited to be launching our very own Kindness Postbox this Monday! A letter has been sent home to everyone today with more information. The postbox will live in reception. Our wonderful Year 5 Kindness Monitors as pictured in the photo will be helping me spread a little happiness 🌟 How does it work? 💛 Parents/carers, staff and children are all welcome to post a kind or thank you message in our postbox to anybody in our school community this can include staff & children. 💛 The postbox will be open before and after school (children must be accompanied by a parent/carer) and at breaktime for the first few weeks with our Year 5 Kindness Monitors. 💛 Postcards will be available next to the postbox. You might like to take one home, write your message and bring it back another day to post. 💛 Myself and our Kindness Ambassadors will empty the postbox every few weeks and make sure the messages reach their recipients. There is absolutely no pressure to get involved. Thank you for your support Mrs Barber

It has been a busy week for cross country. The house competition happened at school on Wednesday, with the teams being picked by the respective house captains. The winning houses will be announced in school next week. At the Connect Academy Trust cross country event at Widey the teams performed brilliantly. All runners persevered on a tough multi lap course. A special well done must go to the 2 teams who won their team relay races. The final cross country race at Staddiscombe awaits next Thursday!
