  • Djembe drumming - bass, slap, tone!

    Published 28/02/23

    It's been a busy couple of weeks since our return to school. We have been excited to start learning our Djembe rhythms (bass, slap, tone). We have also investigated absorbency of kitchen roll and have been interested to find which countries our food comes from, while learning about global trade. Next time you have your breakfast, think about how far the food on your plate has travelled! In English, we are busy writing newspaper articles linked to Macbeth after finishing our superb soliloquies.

  • What can you make a rainbow with?

    Published 07/02/23

    As we reach the end of this half-term, we have enjoyed thinking about our well-being. On Monday, we headed towards the Reception classes and shared information about Antarctica with them. It was lovely to see our Y5 children engaging with their younger peers and siblings! In contrast to the tragedy of Macbeth, our moods were lightened by a visiting storyteller who shared the comedy 'A Midsummer Night's Dream'. We concluded our learning about the weather in French with a presentation about what the weather is like in different parts of France. We have enjoyed joining in with the daily Taskmaster activities set on the Place 2 Be Website. Take a look at our rainbows from Monday's task! We have been very proud of the children this half-term in all that they have achieved, including their Young Voices concert, two pieces of extended writing linked to Macbeth, concluding our Vikings topic and learning all about States of Matter.
