Well done, Y5, on all your homework from this half term. Y5 have worked hard to produce some very persuasive letters, poster and presentations on which rainforest animal we should adopt and which charity to support. Next half term, we will announce the animal and charity that the class will be adopting!

We had a great time learning about different countries and their cultures on Diversity Day. In our own class, we focussed on Nigeria, learning about its landscape, wildlife, languages, currency, national food and popular sports. We even learnt a Nigerian song and dance!

We are thoroughly enjoying using our music skills to learn to play the African drums.

In Science, we worked scientifically to test the properties of liquids.

In our P.E. topic of gymnastics, Y5 have been working on creating their own sequences of balances and rolls. Well done, Y5.

In PSHE, we discussed and made posters about the features of a good community.

Are Dragons real or are they a Fantasy?

As part of our computing work, we have been using laptops and desktops to practice our Microsoft Office skills. This week we practiced saving and uploading documents to our Microsoft Teams class page.
