It has been Enterprise Week in Year 5 and we have loved making and packaging bath bombs ready to sell to raise funds for our new school library.

Year 5 loved their residential to Castleton - have a look at the Gallery section on the website to see what we got up to!

For the Big Help Out, Year 5 planted herbs at Bramall Park. We can't wait to see them when they are a bit bigger! All the children enjoyed helping out in the local community.

We have loved creating these drawings inspired by the local artist Lucy Burgess.
