Heroes, Creativity and Curiosity

This term in Class 5, the young people have been sharing their favourite heroes and discussing what makes them special. This linked beautifully to our class text, Heroes: Incredible True Stories About Courageous Animals.

The class have thoroughly enjoyed listening to inspirational stories of heroic animals and then researching them further. As part of their writing, each young person selected an animal story, adapted an aspect of it, and rewrote it in their own creative way.

In Art, Class 5 have been busy celebrating global pride. They have painted a range of flags, explored global patterns, and had great fun experimenting with paint.

The class also couldn’t resist joining in with the excitement of the football season, creating and decorating England flags to brighten up our classroom windows - Come on England!

In Humanities, the focus has been on water, where it comes from and the importance of rivers around the world. To spark curiosity, the young people took part in a fun ‘hook’ activity where they closed their eyes and guessed what had been placed in their hands… something very cold! This engaging activity was a big hit and helped launch their learning with enthusiasm.
