Our topic in science this term is 'Scientists & Inventers'. We have been taking out research on different animals & creating our own David Attenborough style documentaries. We performed these in front of the class using all of our new animal knowledge.
This week, year 5 have taken part in a half hour skipping workshop. We had lots of fun!
Our Topic this term is Walls and Barricades. We have used the atlas to locate famous walls in the world: Berlin Wall, Great Wall of China and Hadrian's Wall. See some of our great work below.
