In this half term our topic was Spies. This topic lead to many exciting literacy and drama opportunities. We held a Spy Day which was thoroughly enjoyed by all of the children and staff. This is an example of a recount of Year 5's Spy Day! Year 5's first topic this term is Work and Play in Victorian Times. We have started to study a painting called "Work" by Ford Madox Brown that gives an insight into Victorian society. We have also started to talk about the different jobs children did in Victorian times and have all written a diary empathising with a poor child from the Workhouse.

In gymnastics we have been learning about counter tensions and counter balances. Take a look at our pictures!

During this half term our theme was Weddings. Along with the endless ideas for art and design there were plenty of opportunities to cover a wide variety of writing genres. We learnt about weddings from different cultures and even had our own traditional wedding! The children really enjoyed planning and carrying out their traditional wedding!

Year 5 worked with Sean from Nationwide on saving money. They talked about what sort of things they would save for and how to save the money.

Year 5 enjoyed making woven plates. They had to make repeated patterns with the willow to create their plates.

Years 5 and 6 enjoyed their street dancing and skateboard sessions!

Year 4 have jetted off the Caribbean! They have written safety scripts for their flights and now writing exciting stories from other cultures
