In music, we are continuing to develop our ukulele skills. We are building on what we learnt last year and creating music using the new techniques from each lesson.

We worked in pairs to research the pros and cons of travelling to the moon as part of our English lessons. We will use this information when writing an exploration narrative.

We worked hard over the holidays to create some lovely posters on Ancient Greece. We look forward to learning more about our new topic.

It is always important that we stay safe online. We created posters to teach others how to use the internet safely. We know who we need to speak to if we have any concerns online.

in English we used drama, role play and hot seating to get a better idea of the Apollo 11 Mission. It was interesting to hear ‘Neil Armstrong’ share his feelings on the moon landing.

As part of Topic in Year 5, we examined, designed, created and decorated our own ancient Greek clay pots after learning about the importance that they had during the ancient Greek era.

Claude Monet is our focus in art this term. Children in Year 5 have analysed artwork, followed by creating their own watercolour paintings inspired by Monet’s work.

It is so amazing to see children in Year 5 being proactive with their learning. Children have independently planned art and P4C lessons which were thoroughly enjoyed by all the class.

Year 5 & 6 have had a fantastic morning learning how to programme their own micro:bit. These were used to send messages and create flashing images on their devices.

-Image Thank you for having us Upper Batley High. Children in Year 5 enjoyed working with Year 7, exploring their identities as part of the Carry My Story project.

  • What would happen if there was no religion?


 


Oxford December 2022!



 


As part of our enrichment and wider curriculum, we visited the University of Oxford. It was an amazing trip and we are truly inspired by our visit.
