Year 5 welcomed the Saltmine Theatre Company this week for a RE performance and workshop about different stories from the bible. They shared stories of 'Daniel and the Lion's Den', 'Jonah and the Whale' and many others using song and dance. The children were very engaged and enjoyed learning more about Christian beliefs. The workshop offered a deeper dive into the stories where the classes could ask questions and solidify their understanding.

A small group of Y5 pupils enjoyed a ‘Galactic Day’ at St Albans School on Tuesday. Their mission was to plan a settlement on the moon to be built in 2055 as a training camp for humans planning to live on Mars.  Together with pupils from eight other St Albans primary schools they designed, drew, scheduled and costed the mission. The Year 5 children worked really well in groups mixed with other schools, and all showed themselves to be fantastic communicators. They returned in the evening to present their ideas to a panel of judges and their families.
