Class 5 - Summer 2026

RE - After Easter Pentecost Workshop

On Wednesday, we were lucky to have some members of our local church visit us to teach us more about this time in the Christian calendar. We took part in a range of activities that involved bubbles, plaits, skittles and bookmarks alongside learning about the period of Pentecost.

RE Easter Pentecost workshop

PSHE

We talked about the word community and what it means to us, considering what communities we belong to. We then thought about all the things we love about our school community and also had time to think about something we don't like as much, but had to come up with a solution for this. We cleared the room and spent time sharing our ideas with each other, questioning our partners about their thoughts. Following this, we enjoyed some wellbeing dance time!

Designing and making our African Mask front covers

We have studied the designs of African masks and incorported some of the features we have observed into our front cover designs. We used paper and symmetry skills to produce some wild and wonderful designs! Have a look and see what you think...

Mark-making with African patterns

We studied a range of African patterns, looking for details of colour, shape and repetition. Following this, we trialled our own patterns in our sketch book and then applied them to our choice of African animal. See if you can spot our colour and shape choices...

Welcome back to our new term.

This term our theme will be "Hakuna Matata". This is a geography-based theme where the children will learn about the continent of Africa and many of the countries, cultures and significant landmarks within it.
