  • Cinema developments

    Published 16/07/21

    The penultimate week of Year 5 has been another very busy and productive one. In addition to our sports morning, the children have completed their learning all about human lifecycles in science. We were fascinated to find out how women's football has changed in the twentieth century and we interviewed our own primary source, Mr Lancaster, to find out more about changes in the women's game.  The children have really enjoyed finding out through their parents and grandparents or family how cinema has changed in the 20th Century and they used the chromebooks to create information about the next 'big thing' to entice audiences back to the cinema.

    This week, the children in Year 5 have been answering the question: 'Qu'est-ce que tu manges pour le déjeuner?'. We spent sometime getting familiar with the French words for certain lunchbox items and even made and played our own memory game. It has been difficult to remember whether each food item is masculine or feminine, but we have been impressed with the children's efforts to widen their French vocabulary. Perhaps you can ask your child if they would like 'une pomme' or 'du fromage' when you are next preparing a meal together.

  • A timeline of human development!

    Published 02/07/21

    This term, we have been learning about human development and this week in particular we focused on the milestones a person reaches as they grow from a baby to a 10-year-old. There was lots of excellent discussion, especially from the children who still have babies or toddles in their households. We also reminisced about our favourite nursery rhymes and the children in 5H taught Mrs Snedden all about Little Rabbit Foo Foo! The children added their new information to their ever growing timeline. You can imagine from the picture above just how long the timeline will be when complete it.
