Autumn term

We have had an excellent start to year 5! This year, has started with a great time and lots of fun. Here is a review of some of the things we have been learning about and loving. 
 

In art, we have been focusing on the artist Valerie Wilson. Valerie makes collages using fabric, she sews and also uses the technique batik to add detail to her work. We have experiment with batik, we found this very exciting. 

In Music this year, we are very lucky to have a Ukele teacher come in, her name is Mrs Powell. We have learnt about the chords and we LOVE the song 'That thumb brush strum'. We have attached the song below for you all to hear. 

We have our own historian this year, he is an expert in the Ancients Greeks (Theodore). We have enjoyed learning about the Greeks and Theo telling us some extra added details. This month, we have also been celebrating and learning about Black History month. We are having our very own celebration this week as a whole school. 

This term, we have already been to a variety of sport festivals. The girls, have been to three: football, rugby and cross country. The boys went to rugby and cross country.
