On Friday, we had an excellent, informative talk from Doncaster museum. We have had a mix of Case Study One and Case Study Two – both History and Science were covered as part of the workshop. We learned all about medicine over time, and how this has adapted and changed. We learned about the difference between a pandemic and an epidemic and we explored how people reacted to different viruses throughout history. We learned about significant individuals throughout history, too. The museum staff even fetched some real objects for us to handle from the museum collection, which we were so lucky and grateful to have had in school. What an amazing experience! #LovePlover

We are participating in Ant and Dec’s Take 10 this morning, giving ourselves 10 minutes to focus on the things that make us happy! We are taking 10 minutes this morning to read, and focus on our wellbeing. #LovePlover

Year 5 have worked incredibly hard this afternoon during their history case study to research different pandemics that have happened throughout history. They are preparing their facts ready to educate others in the class who have learned about a different pandemic. It is great to see how well they are leading their own learning, well done 5T! #LovePlover

This afternoon, 5T are sorting statements which either tell us a way illness and disease were treated in the past, or in the modern day. We are disgusted that one of the treatments in the times of the Plague was to drink your own urine! YUCK! #LovePlover
