    Come to visit Greece

    Posted by Miss J Clarke
    In Geography we have been learning about Greece. Today our task was to convince someone to travel to Greece. Some children chose to create a poster or a leaflet to showcase all that Greece has to offer. Some children chose to create a podcast and discussed what is so great about Greece. Children will present these to the class tomorrow.

We looked at the story of Guru Gobind Singh, who tested people's commitment to God. We role played this story in groups and presented them to the class. Each group was fabulous and retold the story brilliantly.

    We had a great start to year 5 last week. We spent time getting used to some routines and created our own magical creatures. Today we started our science topic 'Earth and Space'. Our focus was to look at the sun and why it is the heart of our solar system. The children are looking forward to learning more about our solar system.
