Blossom Class - being historians
The children have really enjoyed learning about our local history this term, such as how Grimsby got its name and how Laceby has developed and changed over the years. The children were amazed to find out that artefacts from the Stone Age and Anglo Saxon times have been found in the village and in Cooper Lane in the past. Did you know that over the years Laceby has had 26 different variations of its name??

Year 5 - Being Scientists
In Science we have been investigating materials and how we can mix and separate different materials through sieving, filtering, evaporation and using magnets. The children were asked to decide which method of separation would be the best for varying combinations of liquids and solids. They had lots of fun trying the different methods.

Blossom Class - Food and Seasonality
As a part of our learning in DT, the children have been researching seasonality - when different foods are at their best. The children were given the opportunity to try different seasonal fruit and vegetables, especially those grown in the UK. They tried courgettes, pumpkin, pomegranates, pears, leeks, parsnips, watercress, carrot & swede mashed together and celeriac to name but a few. Some of the children were surprised by how good some of them tasted and were keen to report that they had tried eating them at home too. Our next step is to design and make a seasonal dish!

A big thank you to Humberside Fire and Rescue for delivering an engaging and informative Fire Safety Talk to our Year 5 and 6 pupils this week. The session was full of valuable insights and important reminders that helped reinforce essential fire safety knowledge. Our pupils came away better informed and more aware of how to stay safe. 🔥👏
