This week we welcomed Rock Kidz into school. Rock Kidz gives Primary Schools all over the UK the opportunity to raise the profile of well-being and PSHE in their community through the power of music. The first session in the morning culminated in a Dance Battle between the year 5/6 teachers, who gave it their all and the pupils. After an audience vote and some stiff competition, a pupil from 5/6H won – whoop whoop!

Elsewhere in the curriculum we studied:

Maths – areas of triangles

English – we focused on dialogue, adverbial phrases and personification as we continued our sentence stacking.

Guided reading – our retrieval and inference centred around the work of J. K. Rowling

History – we continued to look into the slave trade and wrote a letter home explaining life on the plantations

Science – a secret mission had us helping Jamie Bond work out which surface gives him the best grip as we delve deeper into forces.

Geography – looking further away from home, we explored the regions and cities that make up Australia.
