Class 5 2024 - 2025
What a lovely first week! Class 5 have settled in really quickly and are working really hard. They are really enjoying using the reading chair! Have a look! They have enjoyed thinking about microbes and how they can be useful. We have also thought about how they can be harmful. Using yeast, we daw how they can be used in the food industry.
Skills Zone

We had an amazing time at skills zone and learnt some many things about safety . The children had a great time as you can see on the slide show.
Cooking - Medieval Monarchs
So, last Friday we were lucky enough to Mel in to help us cook. We linked this our History on Medieval Monarchs by cooking Peasant Stew and Turret bread.
Class 5 would like to say a massive thank you to PTA who helped fund this amazing activity we had a great time.
Connie the Dog
We were really lucky last week to have Connie the therapy dog come into Class 5 on Tuesday afternoon. The children really enjoyed having her in the class and she was amazing.
Connie is currently coming into school every couple of weeks so that all the classes get a chance to spend some time with her.
Reading
Class 5 Reading
Over the last few months some of the children from Year 5 have gone to Stratton Playgroup to read them some fun short stories to them. It has been amazing to see the children be confident in their reading and the children at playgroup really enjoying the stories. After half term we will be carrying this on so more of the year 5's will be able to read with the younger children.
Children's Mental Health Week
During Children's Mental Health week, we have practised mindfulness and focused on wellbeing activities to help support good mental health. We particularly enjoyed practising the breathing techniques. We have spent lots of time outside where possible and appreciated nature as well as promoting the importance of physical activity. We also had a calm zone during break time which will include mindfulness colouring activities. It has been a great week.
Rosa Parks - we presented an assembly highlighting the important message given by Rosa Parks when she refused to give up her seat on a bus in Alabama 1955. . She stood up for herself by sitting down stating, 'I'm fed up giving in!'
