Year 5 children have been working on ‘’Three Little Birds’’ by Bob Marley. The children learned many interesting facts about the Jamaican singer and listened to some of his iconic songs. They composed an instrumental part to ‘’Three Little Birds’’ and performed it with a backing track.
In Brazil class we conducted an experiment using ziploc bags and margarine to recreate the effect of blubber in Emperor Penguins. As well as our experiment we watched a fascinating documentary narrated by David Attenborough as we prepare to write our Non-chronological report on Emperor Penguins in English in the coming weeks!
Along with other year groups in KS2, Year 5 had the privilege of taking part in a Zoom with Russell Kane talking all about his new book: Pet selector! We loved hearing about how Russell has always loved writing stories and meeting some of his furry favourites at home.

This half term, Year 5 have begun their Space topic in Science. So far we have written mnemonics to remember the order of the planets, researched and presented information about each planet and made our own scientific model of the Solar System! Here is some of our fantastic work!
On the last day of half term, Brazil visited the The British Museum to finish our History topic: The Kingdom of Benin. We saw many artefacts, videos and fascinating art work as well as completing activities all about the items we found! We had a fantastic day and had members of the public tell us how polite we were! We are very proud of you Brazil Class!
