Week 4
This week the children have been exploring the graphic novel 'The Arrival' by Shaun Tan and they have written some amazing poetry by studying images and then using nouns, adverbs, verbs and conjunctions to create their masterpieces.
The children continued to enjoy the Newcastle Foundation Football Sessions and below are the children's stamp design to celebrate heroes throughout the pandemic.
Finally, but most importantly, can we wish our families Eid Mubarak as they celebrate the blessed month of Ramadan.
This week, the children have been writing poems using images from The Arrival. Enjoy!

The Water Cycle
Week 1
It has been lovely to have the children back in school after a lovely Easter break. The weather has been beautiful all week and especially today when we have been working on our green fingers in the allotments. This has also tied in brilliantly with the water cycle which has been a key focus this week for our new topic 'Investigating Rivers.
In Maths, the children have been getting to grips with mixed number and improper fractions. Tables and corresponding division facts impact on so many areas in Maths so keep learning your tables Year 5.
