Have a look at what we’ve been learning…
Class 5 Assembly
Class 5 have been very busy in class learning about being safe online. We recapped the SMART acronym to remind us how to be safe online and who to talk to if there was an issue. We also explored scams as it was the theme of this year’s Internet Safety Day. We used this as our class assembly so we could share what we learnt with the rest of the school and our parents. Class 5 were fantastic and showed they were budding rap artists with their song ‘Be Safe Online’!
Poetry Writing
This week, Class 5 have been working on tankas and kennings. They produced some lovely poems. Here is an example of one of our tanka poems that were written this week.
Binchester Roman Fort
Class 5 walked in the footsteps of Roman soldiers through the remains of a commanding officer’s house and learnt about the importance of Roman bathhouses. Inside they managed to see one of the most intact hypocaust, or underfloor, heating systems in Britain. They also had the chance to see what it was like being an archaeologist and piece together clues to discover what life would have been like living there in Roman times.
Our Solar System
We began by learning how the solar system was first formed and how the planets orbit the sun. We then ordered the planets out on the field and learnt that the inner rocky planets are closer to the sun, whilst the larger gas giants are much further away and are separated by an asteroid belt.
Sewing
Our first session learning how to create a running stitch was a success. We’ll be continuing to practice our sewing skills before creating our own fabric advent calendars.
PE – Communication Challenge
In PE, we have been working on our communication and teamwork. The challenges set involve using clear instructions, as well as taking turns and listening to each other in order to succeed.
