A mysterious box has arrived over half term at Northern Saints. What is in the box? Why has it arrived? Who is it for? @nsprimary @CommandoJoes

Today we worked systematically and spotted patterns to organise 36 sweets of different colours into a geometric shape. None of the colours could be adjacent. Some great problem solving and digging deeper to make more complex shapes @nsprimary

Yesterday, we used trial and error and spotted patterns to make a square with dominoes in which all sides had to equal 8. Some great ideas how to solve problems when sides equalled too much or too little. @nsprimary

We completed our race for life today. Thank you for your donations @nsprimary

To celebrate World Music Day, we took a song we learned earlier this year and made our own raps based on ourselves and our life stories. Fantastic work @nsprimary

For Science week, Y5 looked at 'Growing' and life cycles. We watched farm animals being born in a live lesson, researched life cycles and presented our learning as a poster. Some very interesting gestation and life expectancy facts found. @nsprimary

Today, we have practiced the recovery position and staying calm in an emergency. Great to see such maturity and calmness in emergencies @nsprimary

In computing today, we used an app called colorsplash to create images where the item we wanted to focus on was the only thing in colour. Aren't these amazing!@nsprimary

We had a fantastic session ordering artworks linked to incarnation and salvation story of Jesus' death and resurrection. @nsprimary
