We have come back from a wonderful half term break with such an AMAZING attitude in class 5! I have been so impressed with everyone’s hard work, enthusiasm and incredible behaviour. I can’t quite believe we are now in our final half term of the year and I’m already getting upset at the thought of my wonderful year 5 class moving on!

We have got things started with a BANG this week with our first school trip of the year, introducing our brand-new topic ‘Great Britain’ and even a day of road traffic safety training.

During our first few history lessons on our new topic ‘Great Britain’ we have learned what the words monarchy and chronology mean. We have learned all the names of our monarchs in Great Britain from 1066 until modern day and some cool and interesting facts about lots of them. For example, did you know that Charles II was known as a party animal and he was the first person to introduce champagne into England?!

We also learned SO much information during our road traffic safety training session and had a lot of fun doing it. We were even asked to sit a hazard perception test! We are all now confident in how to safely cross the roads. Remember: STOP, LOOK, LISTEN, THINK whenever you try to cross a road.

Finally, we attended a very exciting school trip to Jodrell Bank today. Jodrell Bank is described online as “a landmark of scientific discovery, a site of Outstanding Universal Value, and home to the development of radio astronomy.” It was just that! We got to see a huge working telescope, sit in an awesome planetarium and find out tonnes of cool and interesting information about Earth and Space. We also made sure to sing lots of songs on our long bus journey’s and even squeeze in a few games of Bingo!

I would like to finish by saying a massive thank you to the children of Class 5 this week, especially today for their impeccable behaviour and manners. They made myself, the school and themselves so proud! Well done!

Miss Eastwood
