Year 5 go back to Victorian times at George Street Chapel!

As part of their Victorian Topic, Year 5 enjoyed travelling back in time to George Street Chapel in Odham ths week!  They met families from the past who explained that life was tough for most Victorians.  Children had to work both inside and outside their homes without, of course, some of the inventions that were discovered during the Victorian era.  They enjoyed their time at school, followed by some creative activities in the afternoon such as making peg dolls, being historical detectives and handwriting with pen and ink!   Everyone contributed to a bit of problem solving by fixing togeth

Front Row Music

John from Front Row Music came in to school today for an assembly. The children were amazed at how simple it was play the guitar and were shown how to play chords, melodies and sang along to many songs. If you're interested in taking ukukele or guitar lessons with Drew on Fridays, please ask at the school office for details. 


Victorian Hot Seating in Year 5!

To enhance their diary writing, and to improve their oracy skills, Year 5 took on the roles of workhouse children and the main character of our class text “Street Child”.  The characters and the class were amazing and used all the information they have learnt so far to ask and answer questions!  We definitely have some budding actors and actresses in Year 5!  Mrs Blomeley
