We are taking a trip to Hogwarts…

12th April 2021Miss Blackham

Just a reminder that this Friday is our Harry Potter dress up day. We will be swapping our maths and literacy lessons and instead, we will be participating in lessons only wizards and witches engage in- defence against the dark arts, quidditch, potions, behind the magic and transfiguration. The children will each have the opportunity to be sorted into a house by the sorting hat before the day at Hogwarts begins. This is going to be such an exciting day and we can’t wait to capture all of the exciting things we get up to and we will of course share them on our blogs!
I wonder what our guiding question is going to be?

This week in 5W

25th March 2021Lucy Wood

We have been working super hard this week to create our final product for our Expedition. The children have been working collaboratively all week to create 3 poems that perfectly represent our learning from our 3 Case studies. The results have been amazing and I am so proud of their use of figurative language! Well done 5W!
We have also held a ‘design an egg’ competition for Easter. The deadline for this is Friday and winners will be announced in due course. Have a look at what some of the children created!

Critiquing our final product!

24th March 2021Miss Blackham

In years 5&6 we have been finishing our final product ready to be added to a plaque as a lasting legacy at Markham main memorial. The children have been working on a range of poems all with a focus on each case study. The poems are sounding great and we are in the final stages of critique. We can’t wait to share the finished product with you all!

We have finished our expedition “Where do bears live?” We have learnt about bears, where they live, what they do, where they go and what they eat.

We celebrated with a teddy bears picnic.

Click on the picture. Have a look at the slides and videos of our learning. There are 3 to watch – Goldilocks, We’re going on a polar bear hunt and Bears bears bears bears.

We hope that you enjoy celebrating with us.
