Year 5 Assembly
It was lovely to see many parents and carers at the Year 5 class assembly on Friday morning and to see just how hard they have all been working.
They shared with whole school community what they had learned in English, Geography, Design & Technology this term.
The children spoke very clearly when they shared their leaning about the majesty of the Himalayas, The Andes and other mountain ranges through carefully constructed fact files. They also read out some of their diary entries about what life could be like to live in such a mountainous climate.
The Wild Robot acted as the stimulus for the children’s written work in their English lessons this term. They read with confidence about one of the main characters from the story’s first impressions of the robot and the migratory journey of another character. Their writing style and use of prose was incredibly good.
In Design and Technology, the children had enjoyed studying about Great British dishes. They got to make an Eton Mess having chosen the ingredients and developing a recipe plan with a step to step guide on how to make it. They also got to make their own shortbread designing what the top of the biscuit would look like too.
They shared what they had learned about in RE through the recount of the Story of Esther, a young Jewish woman who ascended to the throne of Persia, whilst removing the evil advisor Haman thereby saving Jewish population from terrible fate.
The assembly finished with a flourish where we were treated to a rendition of the song ‘Fly Away’. Thank you, children, for your inspiration and hard work.
Some examples of their work:
