CL4

Week beginning the 20th October

This week, our learning has focused on the theme of courtrooms! We’ve taken virtual tours to explore what real courtrooms look like, learned about the different job roles involved, and even created our own courtroom-inspired artwork.

The highlight of the week was our mock trial, where we worked together to solve the mysterious case of the missing chocolate cake!

Our photos show us exploring persuasive courtroom language and taking part in our very own trial.

Week beginning the 13th October

It’s been another busy week in Year 5&6! In PE, we’ve been focusing on basketball, playing a variety of games to develop our balancing and throwing skills. Take a look at some photos of us enjoying one of our balancing games!

We’ve also been doing our part to look after our school and protect the planet by taking part in a team litter pick around the school grounds. Great teamwork, everyone!

Week beginning the 6th October

This week, we performed the model text we’ve been practising to help us learn more about character descriptions. Here’s a video of our class performing the opening paragraph together!

Afterwards, we used what we’d learned to adapt the model text and write our own descriptions of different characters we chose.

Week beginning 29th September

In Year 5&6, we’ve been diving into our exciting class topic inspired by the book Holes by Louis Sachar.

In English, we’ve been learning how to write detailed character descriptions. We’ve explored a model text to spot key features that we can use to make our own writing even better.

Here are some photos of us learning our model text about the fascinating character, The Warden!
