What Year 5 have been up to!

Today, Year 5 have been looking at the Anglo-Saxon Sutton Hoo burial. They thoroughly enjoyed determining which Anglo-Saxon king may have been buried there and examining evidence to support their opinions.
Here's the link to all of the artefacts found in the burial for all our budding historians!

Yesterday, we celebrated National Poetry Day in 5B by looking at examples of poems and discussing the features. We have since had lots of children working on some lovely poems at home and even one written by a team of poets :)
Here are a few examples! Well done to all of the children that have given it a go.
Week beginning 18th October:
This week, the Year 5s have been writing adventure narratives based on the thrilling tale of Aron Ralston, who inspired the film 27 Hours by having to cut off his own arm to save himself while exploring. The children came up with some fantastic ideas for their plots, devising exciting and scary twists in the story to engage the reader.
These will be shared with the whole class and available to read in a 'class book' - here's an example of 5B's book and some of their brilliant writing!
