Our new topic is the Ancient Greeks!
We are especially looking at our question : Who had the stronger community...Spartans or Athenians?
Throughout this term we will be looking at the communities in detail, thinking about their differences and similarities.
We had a visit from Technology Tom! We created our very own coal colliery, with working mechanisms!

The children had so much fun, exploring a pit town!
In September, we started to read Street Child! The children were so interested in Jim's life and how different his life was to our lives now!
We concentrated on description of characters in English, as well as "show don't tell" feelings, which we used to express and indicate emotion, without telling the reader how the character feels.
A lot of our class this term have finished our reading scheme! Which means they are a free reader!
Miss Lewis has been so impressed with how we have settled into year five!
