Deadly Paranha.
In chapter 4 - The River ( The Explorer),
Fred, Con, Lila and Max go on a search for water, after following ants they eventually find the river. They are brave enough to enter the water but they find Piranhas - fish with teeth! They are terrified and get out of the river as fast as they can.
Inspired by this Chapter we created factfiles researching and presenting information about these deadly creatures.
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas in 5HM...
We has a great festive day wearing our Christmas Jumpers.
Children In Need / World Kindness Day.
We had a fantastic day exploring the true meaning of Kindness inspired by the story, "The Snail and the Whale." We played Kindness Bingo throughout the day and sent each other, Caught You Being Kind cards.
We watched video clips showing random acts of kindness, which inspired us to do something to make ourselves and others feel good.
We wrote a kindness pledge on hearts and designed posters conveying messages of kindness.
The children loved taking part in these activities and it was great to see them all smiling when they were receiving their messages of kindness.
Phases of the Moon
5HM had a fabulous afternoon exploring the different Phases of the Moon. We used Oreos to represent each phase of the moon.
Women In History.
Votes for Women
After conducting research about the Suffragettes, we wrote and then performed motivational speeches in an attempt to persuade others to join our cause. Can we persuade you to join us? Here are some examples to help you decide...

HAPPY HALLOWEEN
Trick or Treat ?
We had great fun making Witches Legs and Wreaths for Halloween!
Hello Yellow Day - Friday 9th October.
Today we read the stunning book 'The Red Tree,' where we explored the issues surrounding mental health, in order to raise awareness. The children were brilliant and were able to empathise with the character in the book. They each gave the character a positive message of advice. Inspired by the story, we then wrote a short poem focussing on our hopes and dreams of the future.
The children have had a lovely day!
