Form 5 have been feeling festive and preparing for the upcoming Christmas season! We have decorated the tree this week. The children are welcome to bring their own bauble to add to the tree; Charlotte already has done! We will be exploring winter and Christmas, as a theme in our writing lessons, next week!

Form 5 had a great Forest School session; even with the challenging weather situation. The children had a go at making a nature den for hedgehogs.

Form 5 have been feeling spooky this week and we have channelled our spookiness into some fantastic creative writing, based on a picture of a creepy, haunted house! A lot of the children wrote fabulous stories, which really creeped me out!! Here are Grace and Charlotte displaying their work!

Form 5 have been learning about figurative language this week; specifically, similes, metaphors and personification. In the introduction lesson, the children were given the opportunity to write some WOW sentences on their whiteboards and I was blown away by some of their figurative language skills!                     ...

Form 5 have been helping me celebrate Rosh Hashanah (Jewish new year). We have been sampling some traditional Rosh Hashanah snacks including delicious apple and honey, which is eaten to celebrate a sweet new year. Some of the children were really excited about this, as they remembered it from Form 4!

Form 5 had the opportunity to relax this weekend, as a treat for the end of assessment week. I asked the children to send me a picture of themselves doing something that they find fun! Here are just a handful of the class’s fun activities! We still have lots to do over the rest of...
