Year 5 were fortunate to welcome a humanist speaker into the class today! Kevin explained how his philosophy was to treat others the way we would like to be treated ourselves. We watched a video about animals helping each other by instinct, which provoked some very interesting debates! Year 5 asked some sensible and thoughtful questions and Kevin was extremely impressed with their behaviour and their enquiring minds! Thank you to Mrs Slate, our RE Leader, for organising our visitor! Mrs Blomeley

Year 5 have started their journey back in time to learn about the Victorians! We have learnt that the Victorian period began in 1837, when Victoria became Queen, until her death in 1901, when her son, Edward, became the new monarch! We compared this to the recent coronation of our own new monarch, King Charles II who became King after the death of his mother, Queen Elizabeth lI, last year. Of course, we found out about many other dates and inventions during the Victorian period which we will explore in more detail during our topic. Mrs Blomeley
