  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.

  Guru Gobind Singh

  Posted by Miss J Clarke

  In RE this term we are learning about how Sikh's show their commitment to God. This week we have been looking at the story of how Khalsa Sikh's were founded. 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.

  Ancient Greece

  Posted by Miss J Clarke

  As part of our 'Achievements and Legacies' theme, we have been learning about Ancient Greece. This week we thought about how to use primary and secondary sources in history. We observed images of a vase found in Greece and discussed what the images could tell us about how people lived in Ancient Greece.

  Welcome back

  Posted by Miss J Clarke

  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.
