In Year 6, Lily has created an exploding box to showcase her learning on the Suffragettes. This is the final piece, based on the text 'Suffragette - the battle for equality' by David Roberts. The whole year group had fun making these showcase pieces.

Last week, Year 5 completed their Art History Project on L. S. Lowry. Eden from the Pandas has produced a brilliant double-page spread in her sketchbook, showing what she has learned about Lowry and beginning to experiment with his style.

Ryley from Toucans has completed a double-page spread with Mrs Gash, showing his answers to 6 key questions from our RE unit of work about Buddhism. The key questions were:

• What do Buddhists believe?
• What is the Tripitaka?
• Why is Sangha important?
• Who is the Dalai Lama?
• What are the Four Nobel Truths?
• What is the Nobel Eightfold Path?

This week, Year 5 have enjoyed getting stuck into their spooky new class novel, Clockwork by Philip Pullman. Abi from the Pandas has captured the atmosphere of the opening chapter perfectly in her postcard from Glockenheim - the little German town where the story is set.

In the Toucans, Courtney G has produced a wonderful final piece in English. This balanced argument demonstrates a range of grammatical features, has a clear structure and incorporates views for both for and against, whether workhouses should return to modern day. This work has stemmed from our study of Street Child, by Berlie Doherty.

This week in Year 5, we have been learning to describe using our five senses. Riddhi has used some fantastic vocabulary in her description of the dump from our new Power of Reading text, The Viewer. Well done!
