Year 5
English: The Land of the Jabberwocky- November 2018
After studying the poem 'Jabberwocky' by Lewis Carroll, children used the poem to help them create their interpretation of the world of the Jabberwocky, making thoughtful choices regarding shapes, colours, positioning of items and representation. Their finished lands were incredible, and the children were so familiar with the poem that they were quoting phrases when they described their lands to the rest of the class.
Geography: Our World -November 2018
In small groups, Year Five collaborated to create a globe, illustrating their understanding of our recent geography topic. They then gave a short presentation to the class, describing the process and decisions made, accurately using key terminology covered in the unit.
Grammar: Direct speech and relative clauses- October 2018
Year Five enjoyed coming to the front of the classroom and holding word and punctuation cards. They worked together as a class to construct accurately punctuated complex sentences.
