Broad and Balanced... Y5 The children have started off the new half term with a ‘spring’ in their step. The positive attitudes and high quality of work continues. This half term the topic is ‘The Vikings’, so far they’ve been learning ‘where and when the Vikings came from and why they raided Britain. A wide range of activities were completed to show their understanding, including timelines, role playing Vikings, map work and making super longboats. In English, they’ve been planning to write instructions based around a mythical Viking creature such as dragons, unicorns, Kraken, Norse Gods to name but a few. When writing their instructions next week, it will describe how to catch, train or tame these mythical creatures with their own top tips using research they’ve gathered. In geography lessons over this term, they’ve been improving their knowledge of the United Kingdom. This week they’ve researched different seas and coasts, they’ve gathered information, located places on maps and written postcards from their coastal location. In PE lessons over the next two weeks, the children have been given the opportunity to show how they keep fit and healthy at home, ‘in their spare time’. It has been amazing to see the variety of skills, activities and hobbies they all participate in. Class 5 have been super active and fit which is very important to keeping a positive mindset and healthy lifestyle. Well done.
Broad and Balanced... Y6 Since returning from half term, Year 6 have completed some more fantastic work! We have continued our learning about World War 2 and just before the break we learnt about Bletchley Park and the amazing people who broke codes during the war. As a part of their computing work, Year 6 created their own Google Sites to inform others about Bletchley Park. They were challenged to make their websites as advanced as possible with a mixture of written information, images, links, videos and tabs. We were so impressed by how professional their websites looked and all of the complex features they included. We also saw some brilliant and very detailed drawings of WW2 tanks, which looked extremely realistic. This week, they wrote their final sets of instructions, which could have been used during WW2. We really enjoyed seeing the high quality of writing, including all of the SPaG that we have been learning about. Finally, having learnt about evacuation during the war, Year 6 became evacuees and sat in a ‘hot seat’ to be interviewed in character. We really enjoyed seeing them step into the shoes of an evacuee along with one very impressive costume. Well done Year 6, you have had another excellent week!
