JUNIORS Since Week Without Walls, year 5 have been very busy! Last week, the Juniors and Infants schools took part in a Spooky Carnival. The theme was black cats and bats and there were some fantastic costumes seen around the school! In year 5, the students took part in a carousel of activities including black cat silhouette art, a beetle drive, spooky slime, spooky biscuits and origami spiders. This range of activities gave students the opportunity to be creative and work on their teamwork and cooperation skills. Then in the afternoon, years 5 and 6 all joined together for a spooky
disco! During lessons, year 5 have all been busy revising for their upcoming assessments. The year 5 teachers and support staff are proud of how hard the students have worked this term and are looking forward to starting some new projects after assessments. Also after assessments, year 5 will be hosting a Viking exhibition in the Juniors Hall where we’re hoping many parents will come and see the hard work and achievements of the students. This will be held on Thursday 29th November from 1pm. We hope to see you there!

BIN OMRAN 2ME have been working on writing Narratives this term. We used a mini-hook to inspire some invented stories. Alongside lots of other great features, the children have been successfully exploring how to use the ‘power of 3’, quirky story openers and repetition to instantly engage anyone who reads their story. Check out some of the pictures of the children verbally telling their stories, using puppets, before their talk leads into some amazing story writing.
