Macbeth

10/03/2014 14:36
We have been learning about Macbeth, by William Shakespeare. This morning, Mr Griffin and Mrs Newman dressed up and performed Act One, Scene Five. Mr Griffin was Macbeth and Mrs Newman was Lady Macbeth. They wore old fashioned outfits because the play is set in the Tudor period. After the...

World Book Day

10/03/2014 14:30
We thoroughly enjoyed doing presentations, on our favourite books, to celebrate World Book Day. Darryn's presentation was one of the best. He decided to tell us about his 'Minecraft' manual. He brought in lots of brightly coloured posters, to demonstrate his interest. Cara's presentation was also...

St David's Day

10/03/2014 14:25
We wrote some Welsh poetry for St David's Day. To do this we used the Kenning style, which is a Norse form of poetry. With the Kenning style, you describe what the object or place is like, instead of telling the reader what it is. We found this very interesting. We used similes,...

Tudor Dance

We are learning Tudor dancing, to incorporate our topic work into our P.E lessons. It is quite complicated and the music is unusual but Miss Elsmore gives us lots of help and encouragement. Soon we will have perfected it!

Christmas Stockings for the Bazaar

For the Christmas fair, Year 5 made Christmas stockings. We sewed two sock shapes together, using blanket stitch. Year 5 then decorated the stockings with glitter, ribbon and sequins, and beads. We sold all of them, for £2.50 each.   By Kate

Clay pots

Just before half-term, we made our own clay pots. We had to roll the clay into a thin piece and then wrap it round, into a pot shape. After we had made them, we left them to dry in the other classroom. Once they had dried, we painted them using a mixture of paint and PVA, so that it would not...

Mayor Visit

The Mayor came to visit our school on 26th September. We did an assembly, all about our new classroom and how it was built. After the assembly, the mayor came to see the new building and do the official opening. We released some blue balloons and had some lovely cake. Everyone had a...

The new Year 5's have really enjoyed their first few days in the new building. Today they had a visit from Henry VIII who has been teaching them all about his life. Photos to follow.

Tudor Day

On Monday 9th September, Henry VIII came to visit us. He gave a talk about his life and his six wives, and then we took part in lots of fun activities. We did jousting and dancing in the hall, and made ruffs. It was fantastic! Lots of us dressed up too! The photographs will be uploaded next...
