Welcome to Class 5!
Joining Year 5 can be daunting, so we decided to write down our worries and things we are feeling a little apprehensive about. After talking about them as a whole class, we threw them in the air… literally!
Our class novel for this term is ‘Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone’.
Class 5 didn’t go to the museum, the museum came to class 5.
This week, we turned our classroom into a museum and examined a number of Viking artefacts. We all had an amazing time learning about the Vikings using drama and creativity.
Creating a storyboard of our class novel so far.
We created our very own storyboard of our class novel ‘Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone’. We really enjoyed recapping the story and being able to write about specific parts in our own words.
Whole class reading
As part of whole class reading, we have been reading ‘Viking Boy’ by Tony Bradman. This links in perfectly with our current history topic - ‘The Vikings’. We’ve been developing our comprehension skills, with a particular focus on retrieval and inference. The dark and mysterious themes have everyone in class 5 on the edge of their seats every afternoon reading this amazing book!
