We have had another truly fantastic week here in Class 5. On Tuesday 25 of our pupils took part in the Strictly Pennine dance performance show. They were the first school to perform and kicked things off with a BANG! They performed incredibly and really made myself, the school, themselves and you parents proud. What an amazing night!

Not only that but we have also managed to squeeze in World Book Day this week too. The children loved dressing up in their pyjamas and spending timer reading some of their favourite stories with their Year 2 buddies. We spent the day completing lots of different fun reading-based activities such as quizzes, scavenger hunts and even managed to complete our brass lesson too! (It was a little strange to see 32 children dressed in pyjamas playing brass instruments but very fun nonetheless!)

This week’s blog has been written by Martha, Jemima, Zachary and Betsy. We hope you have as much fun reading it as they did writing it. Enjoy!

Dance Show

On the 28th of February we got the exiting experience of dancing on the Laurence Batley theatre. We practised in the dressing room a bit before being the 1st on stage to open the entire event. Everyone was really nervous before the show began but we decided to say some positive words of encouragement to ease our nerves. By the time we had performed we were all on cloud 9! It was such an amazing experience, we all loved it!

 

English

We all finished the book about “Abloy in the girls’ bathroom” during our reading comprehension lessons and enjoyed it. Now, we are writing a diary entry of Bradley Chalkers, the main character from his point of view. It was a little bit tricky trying to get into the mind set of Bradley to begin with so we started the week with some role playing to try and help with this. By the end of the week we have all managed to write not only one, but two diary entries, which Miss Eastwood said are all fantastic!

 

World Book Day

Yesterday, we all got to dress up in our pyjamas and read to our buddies for world book day. It was really fun! Miss Eastwood dressed up as Mr Bump from the Mr Men book series but no one recognised who she was! People asked if she was a zombie (because she had a bandage on her head) or Humpty Dumpty! We also spent the day doing lots of run reading activities like a book quiz, a book treasure hunt and even designed out own book marks.

 

Science

In science this week we have been learning about pregnancy and the different stages of pregnancy. Did you know that when pregnancy begins, the baby is first called an embryo, then a foetus and finally a baby.
