Year 5 summer week 12

Dear Parents,

Here is a few things we have been up to over the last couple of weeks.

Visit to Nicholas Breakspear:

We had a great time at Nicholas Breakspear and got a real taste of life at secondary school experiencing lessons in English, Science, Maths and RE and History.

Science – Environments:

We were able to enjoy the sunshine and make the most of investigating various habitats around the school.

St Michael’s:

Another visit; another excellent school. We had a science day at St Michael’s and enjoyed making rockets, using Bunsen burners and experimenting with acids and alkalis.

Back at St Adrian’s, we continued our habitats and life-cycles work by dissecting and identifying parts of a flower and the fruits they produce.

Note to parents – I am sure that you are aware that in a few months you will be visiting secondary schools with a view to securing a place for your child in year 7. Where you choose will be a complex and personal decision based on what you feel will be best for your child. For what it’s worth, I was very impressed by St Michael’s and many of you will be familiar with it. Perhaps off the radar for some of you is Nicholas Breakspear. I thought it had a lovely, calm atmosphere. If you had not considered either of these Catholic schools, I urge you to pay them a visit as well any other school on your list.

Have a great weekend,

Mr Creaton
