The Year 5s are thoroughly enjoying their class text this term - Street Child by Berlie Doherty. As part of their literacy work, they have been busy refining their skills of textual prediction to continue the story with their own creative ideas. They all worked really hard to combine the use of vocabulary specific to the Victorian time period, and figurative language to convey the setting and emotive events. The first paragraphs of their creative writing have been displayed in class alongside their watercolour silhouette scenes.

This morning our Year 5s held their class assembly to the Prep School and parents. They shared their learning on the topic of Victorians by displaying a variety of class projects and acting as child labourers and Victorian school children. Following their performance, Mrs Butler-Hand invited parents to view the wonderful work that the class have been so busy working on all term. The Year 5s held animated conversations with their grown-ups, proudly presenting the work in their books. What a fantastic start to the week!
