Term 3 - Peasants, Princes and Pestilence
During Term 3, we will be taking a step back in time - to the 14th Century.
This half term, we’ll travel back to the dark and deadly world of 14th century Britain. Why not visit your local library or museum to see if the 14th-century plague affected your area? You could also look around your house with an adult to see how many products there are that are made to tackle germs. Would they have helped to prevent the spread of the plague? Alternatively, read a book together that is set during a plague. How were the characters’ lives affected by the deadly disease?

Stargazers
Meeting the most amazing robot - Nao!
In Year 5, we were very lucky to spend the morning: meeting robots, taking a trip to Mars and building our own Lego Mars rovers.
Jo from Robokids, taught us all about the most recent missions to Mars (and future ones) She introduced us to her completely incredible robot - Nao.
Nao performed a dance, brushed her teeth, followed instructions and waved to us. We all just loved her!
