We kicked off our start in year 5 with a knockout competition to decide on our first class novel!  Mrs Nadin chose 20 texts to enter into the world cup of books.  The books were put on tables and the children discussed together to see which books they might be interested in reading.  Children…

In our weekly visit to the library, we explored new books that had arrived. We spent some time reading and then we read a chapter out of a new book that had arrived from our author of the month- Marcus Rashford, who we are a big fan of! The book was called 'Breakfast Club' and after reading…

This week we have been looking at all kinds of poetry linked to our topic, coastlines. Today, we had a go at performance poetry. We learned about how to perform our poems effectively, we had to think about the tone of our voice, the tempo we read, how we will stand, and the actions we will do.…

This half term, Year 2 have been working really hard to get their class treat. We have just had a busy week of SATS and so we definitely deserved a treat! We got lots of materials and pegs, and we had a go at some den building. We created some amazing dens which we had time to play in before…
