Groups planned an investigation where they created a buzzer circuit, and then covered it differet materials. They then measured how far away they could still hear the buzzer to see which material was best. We also found out that some people's hearing is better than others!

As part of our topic on writing reports, Year 5 held a press conference with imaginary child film stars Neil Lee Bigg and Fay Moss. Journalists from around the country came to ask questions in preparation for writing a magazine article. Let's hope fame hasn't gone to the young starlets' heads.

Children enjoyed developing their own labyrinth boardgames. They enjoyed even more the part where they were able to play them with each other during Maths Week.

As part of our fundraising for those suffering in Haiti, Hertford Heath had a 'Hats for Haiti' day. All children were asked to make or wear a hat of their choice and donate a pound to help a good cause. Thank you to all who helped and took part.

The snow may have brought its problems in January, but it didn't dampen the spirits of children in the school. We enjoyed making snowmen and playing in the snow.

As an extra-curricular activity, our sports coach offered some children the opportunity to try their hand at sumo wrestling - but fortunately in a way which meant they didn't have to put on 20 stones!

As part of our Hindu day, in which we experienced a traditional Hindu wedding, we also enjoyed a kite making workshop. The really fun part came, when we tried them out on the field!

Year 5 each chose a European country, researched it and painted its flag. We also focused on the German language and learnt a few songs that are sung in German primary schools.
