Tigers’ Class Assembly: The Swinging Sixties This week, children in Year 5 have had great fun travelling back in time to find out what Britain - and Bishop Martinwere like in the 1960s. We’ve handled artefacts; created a human timeline of events; created art work in the style of Andy Warhol; written speeches inspired by Martin Luther

King as well as learning different dance moves from the decade and performing songs by the Beatles and other popular groups. We have learned so much and shown great enthusiasm throughout the week so we were very excited to share our learning in our class assembly today. We have a very talented and creative bunch of Tigers. Well done!
