Spring Term Lockdown 3.0

Oh what a term we faced many challenges but we managed it !

You are all fantastic (mums, dads and carers too!)

Here are some highlights from the blog.

Autumn Term  

As part of our mini-topic this year, we will be exploring the fascinating sights and celebrations of Brazil and the carnival! 

We will also be dipping into other areas of Latin America such as Mexico and Peru to gain insight to why the other Year 5 classes are named Peru and Mexico. We'll delve into the darkest depths of the Amazon Rainforest and discover the day of the dead.  

Our topic for the Autumn Term is The Industrial Revolution. You will see just how this Victorian age of invention completely turned the world on its head and shaped it into the one we see today!

This half term we have started reading about Jim Jarvis and his adventure as a street child.

What we have found out so far...

Unfortunately, Ma sends Jim to buy a pie with her last shilling leading to the family been evicted from there room. Ma takes her three children to see a friend called Rosie.
