A December Update!

It's been a busy couple of weeks in Birch Class!

Our Year 5s have been working hard to start on the first draft of their myths and hoping to finish the by the end of this week. There is such a big imagination in the class, we can't wait to see the end result! Not to mention, they've been helping Miss Simpson write hers too!

We have just finished multiplication and division in maths and everyone has been brilliant. This morning, we did a recap Kahoot on everything we'd learned before they did an assessment and it went so well that it promised to be a regular thing for maths from now on!

In RE, we've been learning about Hinduism and why Hindus want to be good people. Last week, we used Snakes and Ladders to learn about Dharma, Karma and Moksha! We made our own board with actions and consequences for the snakes and the ladders they drew on themselves. Ask the children how they're linked and how they did when they played a few rounds.

We're coming to an end of our first geography topic, Biomes! Next week, we'll be making our own posters about one of the biomes they will be learning about this week. So far we've talked about the different things that can affect and create different biomes such as precipitation, latitude, ocean currents and climate!

As the end of term one approaches, we can't wait to see everything that Birch Class achieve. It will be exciting to share what hard work they've gotten up to!
