This week in Year 5 Science, we continued exploring electricity by building circuits and making our own switches. Using card, split pins, bulldog clips and paper clips, the children created push, toggle, slide and selector switches, showing great creativity and problem solving throughout.
Today in Class AL, Year 5 used multi-blocks to build cuboids before practising technical drawing on isometric dot paper. Using rulers, we carefully constructed accurate cuboids and calculated their volume.
This week year 5 explored how electrical circuits are represented using symbols. These symbols are a simple way to show components like batteries, bulbs, and switches in a diagram. Learning these symbols helps us read and draw circuits accurately, just like scientists and engineers do. Next, we’ll use these symbols to draw and make our own circuit.

In Maths, Class AL used trundle wheels to measure perimeters inside and outside the school, taking turns to steer, count clicks and record the distances. The children really enjoyed working together and seeing how Maths appears in the real world!
We all enjoyed a fabulous concert yesterday courtesy of County Music Service (CMS).
A huge thank you to the four talented instrumental teachers who inspired, entertained and informed us about woodwind, brass and percussion instruments.
It was fantastic, thank you County Music for this opportunity.

A wonderful service at St Michael's Church, with a packed congregation of parents.
Well done to the children in Year 3 & 4 who led the service, and to all the staff who have helped prepare them for today.
Thank you to Rev Chris for the blessing, and to Mr Jones for playing the organ and piano so beautifully.
Listen to excerpts from our service on our website Music page here.
We wish you all a peaceful Christmas.
Someone special visited the children today, to spread a little Christmas cheer!

Our Nursery can take children from the beginning of the term following their third birthday. Children may have up to five terms of free part-time early learning with us before they join the Reception class. The Nursery aims to create an environment where children can have a variety of experiences through play. This means we can develop their knowledge and understanding of the world around them and give them a strong foundation upon which we can start to build the curriculum.

Class JA designed Christmas toys with moving parts. Their clever jumping puppets showed how festive fun can spring to life through design and creativity!

What a delight we have had all week, with every Foundation & Key Stage 1 class performing their individual Nativities, not just once but twice! Each afternoon we have had the dress rehearsals to the other children and then each morning the parents & grandparents have come along to watch.
Here is a snapshot of a few photos from each Nativity, but do take a look on our website gallery page to see some more: Framlingham Sir Robert Hitcham's CEVA Primary School - Photo Galleries
