Y5 - Larch

Our Class Charter

In Larch Class the children worked together to create their own class charter.

It states that everyone has the right to learn, to be safe and be listened to.  This links to RRS articles, 30, 19 and 12.

A big thank you to all the parents that were able to join us this half term to paint our Canopic jars!  The children really enjoyed this.

#UKPW  This week is Uk Parliament Week.  In Larch Class we have been learning how to debate (should chicken nuggets be allowed on the school dinner menu?) and how to listen to everyone's opinions.  This links to RRS articles, 2,3,12,13,28 and 29.

Today, in Geography, Larch class have been learning how to identify physical and human features on a map and how to draw a map with a key.

The children really enjoyed this because it was linked to our learning quest (Through the Portal) and was based on Narnia.

Our Mini Quest this week is Dream, Believe and Achieve.  This is linked to our Christian Value of Hope.

The children have been focusing on what they aspire to be in the future and how they will achieve this goal.

In English pupils have focused on writing aspiration poems to help inspire others to achieve their goals and never give up.

In Art/D.T, pupils have been designing, making and evaluating dream catchers.

Larch Class have really enjoyed the Mini Quest this week.

Week 2

On Wednesday, Year 5 had a visit from Lucy who is a firefighter.  She came to talk to Year 5 about fire safety.

Larch Class were very well behaved and asked some very sensible questions.

Pupils had the opportunity to become detectives and try to discover how certain fires had started using the images provided for them.

Larch Class really enjoyed the visit and said that they had learnt a lot about how to stay safe in the event of a fire.
