Happy Historians!

Posted on Thursday 15 October 2020 by Mrs Hogarth

Year 5 and 6 began their new History topic this week – Stone Age to Iron Age and Ancient Egypt. The children used photographs of historical objects to learn more about the past. They specifically looked at images of tools from the Stone Age, Bronze Age and the Iron Age. They discussed the advancements in the making of tools, such as the use of metal. Some children were also able to identify which time period an unknown tool was from and they applied what they’d learnt very well. They placed it in the Bronze Age.

Science – leaf classifying

Posted on Wednesday 07 October 2020 by Mrs Hogarth

Year 5 and 6 have continued to work on classification keys this week. They were looking at a range of leaves from British trees and plants and initially had to identify them. Following their discussion work, they then created their own classification keys using scientific questions, that other children could use to sort and identify leaves. The children did a great job of using their scientific vocabulary. We are now leaf experts!

Super Cereal Homework 5/6S

I’ve been blown away this week by the amazing homework that the children have created – they’ve certainly got their creative juices flowing. They have obviously enjoyed making and tasting their own cereal recipes – I got very hungry looking at all the photos. Thank you to all the parents for sending the homework via email – it’s great to know that you’re supporting the children with their learning at home. It’s been an absolute pleasure to do homework review today. Well done parents and children!
