Class of 2016

A fab Christmas party with lots of dancing, singing and laughing followed by a yummy feast. Thank you too all parents who contributed. We will finish it off tomorrow. Please see the gallery for more photos. 

We have been writing cinquains this week and today we wrote and performed them. As you can imagine, there was a bit of a Christmassy theme with the poems

We have been reading a wonderful book called 'The Rabbits' by John Marsden and Shaun Tan. It has raised lots of moral issues and discussion and as per usual we have added some drama- above is how we imagine the possums would feel when they first catch sight of the rabbis. 

We have had a fantastic morning investigating maps, letters and other historical sources to find out about Alfred Wainwright and have also copied some his maps and sketches. Many thanks to Barrow Archives for a great morning. 

A fab performance from Year 5 in Happy Christmas Tommy. I am so proud of you all. And thank you so much for the beautiful flowers and card. Please see the gallery for more photos.
