Year 5 at Murray Park

On the 17th of June, all of Year 5 spent a fantastic day at Murray Park school. Taking part in a wide range of activities, the children had the chance to see what a day in secondary school is really like. Split into three classes, the children had two lessons in the morning and two in the afternoon. Some groups had the chance to experience Bunsen burners in science, whilst others learned how to create games on Kodu in computing. In maths, we created our own number armies, ready to send into battle, and in English we came up with our own ideas for a mystery story. There was even a textiles lesson where the children designed their own 'hip' teenage shirt, which will be displayed during the fashion show! Exciting times! At lunchtime we were treated to an amazing lunch, put on by the super catering staff at Murray Park, before taking part in a Silverhill vs Mickleover football match. It really was an excellent day out, and the children (and staff) thoroughly enjoyed themselves. Thank you Murray park!
