Unity Community Primary

✨ Changing over time… and growing every day! ✨
Year 5 have been exploring how humans change as part of their science learning. They loved looking back at their own lives, reflecting on how much they’ve grown, and sharing the cutest baby photos to add to their work. 🍼🧠📚
So much learning, so many memories, and plenty of giggles along the way 💛

✨ Friday Refresh! ✨
Another brilliant week of creativity, curiosity and challenge across school 👇
📸 1 – Budding Gymnasts!
Our young gymnasts transformed the hall into exciting obstacle courses, exploring new ways of travelling, balancing and moving. Such amazing energy and teamwork!
📸 2 & 3 – Reception Explorers
Reception have been busy designing maps and building models of different types of transport. Can you guess what these clever creators have made? 🚗🚂✈️
📸 5 & 6 – Chairs on Strike!
Year 5 faced an unexpected classroom crisis last week… the chairs went on strike! 😲
The children put their persuasive writing skills to the test with heartfelt (and hilarious!) letters convincing them to return.
📸 7–9 – Twisted Fairy Tales
Year 6 have published their very own Twisted Fairy Tales—classic stories with a brilliant modern twist. We’re so proud of their imagination and storytelling flair! 📚✨
