We have reached the final term of this academic year and it is certainly going to be a busy one!

Here is an overview of the term ahead.

Here are the KIRFs for this term.  We will be focusing on a couple of KIRFs each week.

Year 5 KIRFs

For our 5th Task Day, our focus was ‘being active’.  Maple Class planned sporting activities to teach the children in Year R and had great fun in leading this. Both sets of children had great fun!

Back in the classroom, the children chose one of our adopted animals to paint in the style of Emily Carr.

To mark the 80th anniversary of VE Day, we made pop up books to explain why the day is so important.

Maple class raised £143 by completing a litter pick.  The children decided to adopt a panda, turtle and a tiger by donating to the WWF.

The children were really excited when the letters from our partner school in France arrived.

Having left the clay pots to dry over the Easter holidays, they were finally ready to paint.

Welcome to Term 5!  Here is an overview of all the fun things we will be learning about this term.

Here are the KIRFs for this term:

Year 5

We researched what Ancient Greek pots were like and designed our own.

We then used plasticine to practise different techniques before using the clay.

Next, we used clay to make our pots.

We enjoyed celebrating all the special ladies in our lives.  We shared Bible readings and songs.  The children also read their own poems and prayers.

We were lucky to have Ian from KIC Theatre visit us this week. He introduced our book for term 5, ‘The Sister Who Ate Her Brothers: And Other Gruesome Tales’, and supported the children in expressing themselves through drama. The children really embraced this and had a great session.
