Term 4
Week 6 25-28 March 2024
This week has been a fun last week of term! We did mini police which included beer goggles. It was really hard because we had to go around cones and try to catch a ball into our hats. The goggles were very difficult to see in and it was hard to pick up the ball. Later that day, there was our mini police graduation which we were awarded with a certificate. Also we got some stationary like a pencil and a pen so that we could use it and remember all of the fun we had doing mini police. As it is the last week we decorated boiled eggs for our school competition to win a prize. There were a lot of really good entries. Well done to Harry for winning the year 5 prize!
Week 5 18-22 March 2024
This week has been a brilliant week! Jack Rutter the footballer came into our school. We did sports and we had to do different types of exercises. Later that day there was an assembly which we found out more about Jack Rutter and how he became a footballer. It was also odd sock day, there were different types of funny socks and colourful ones. We have started our new topic which is Ancient Greece. Our class have learnt that Ancient Greece was made up of islands. As it is almost Easter we learnt about Lent and all of the days there are to celebrate Easter. We started learning about holidays in French as well as different country names.
Bella brought in her French knitting she has been doing to share with the class too.
Week 4 11-15 March 2024
This week we have been busy. We made human pyramids with a circus expert. First, we made our base strong so that we didn`t fall off when we got on top. Then we climbed on and raised our arms so that we are not holding on. When the police came in we did mini medics and learnt how to save someone. We learnt how to do CPR and how you know if you need to do it or not. The police bought in one of their medics to teach us safety.
Finally, Miss B showed us her book about her trip and what she saw. There were elephants, African Fish Eagles which are her favourite birds, giraffes, hippos and much more. She told us about the hyenas that were being very cheeky.

During mini police, we went out in the community to do litter picking. Then we went on our school grounds to do some more. We found loads of litter which didn't smell that great. Next, after school some children came back to school for book at bedtime.
