Welcome to Class 5/6. This Class currently only contains Year 5 children and is part of Upper Key Stage 2.
Please check this page regularly to see updates of what we are learning.
Recently we went on a class trip to find out what it might have been like to have been evacuated in World War Two. We learned lots of things about what life might have been like and looked at artifacts from the time. The highlight of the day was the steam train journey and the role play billeting.
We thought about how we could help the Sierra Leone through the Bishops harvest appeal. We learnt a little bit about the Sierra Leone and thought about how we might be able to help improve peoples lives there. We also learnt about how different Christian values could help us achieve this and make us better people.
After a WOW! Science assembly in which we learned lots of science facts and saw some fiery experiments. We then helped to teach Reception class about how our digestion system works using a plastic bag and tights.
We spent the morning using practical objects to solve maths problems in groups. We used plates, counters and cups to help with our challenges.
As a school we commemorated a 100 years since the First World War ended. In class we used the IPads to find a soldier who lived near us and used a variety of sources to find out what we could about them. So we could make a ribbon of remembrance for local soldiers. At 11:00 we all observed two minutes silence in honor the fallen. In the afternoon we planted our own poppies with class R/1.
