Coventry Flame of Friendship Closing Ceremony

 Today we took part in the Flame of Friendship Closing Ceremony at Westwood Academy. This has been a very exciting project for all of us, we have enjoyed learning about the Olympics and other countries. We have tried lots of new sports and at the Closing Ceremony we were very lucky to be taught to play Taico drumming. We had 2 hours in the morning to practice before performing in the afternoon for the Lord Mayor, Japanese Ambassador and children from schools across the city. 

We also got to try some more sporting activities led by some amazing sports leaders from Westwood Academy. We had a brilliant day.

Year 5 trip Rugby League World Cup video

 Year 5 are making a video about Coventry before the Rugby World League Cup. They had great fun making the video, dancing and exploring the city.

Goodbye frogs

 We have released our frogs and tadpoles back into the pond.

Frogs

 We have baby frogs, we were surprised to see how tiny they are. We will be releasing them back into the school pond next week and will be sad to see them go.

Flame of friendship

 Today earth said farewell to the torch as we passed it on to Whitley Academy. We gathered together to enjoy some morning exercise, radio taiso, and to sing our song, wavin flag. Years 5 and 6 then ran with the torch to Whitley Academy. We are happy and proud to have been part of the friendship relay.
