The 5/6 area has been buzzing with activity this term. Students have been working hard in the classroom and at sport showing our learning and good sportmanship
Text Study
We have finished out study of Skellig and have begun reading 'How to Bee' by Bren MacDibble. In preparation for the story we have learned about Bees and their importance to our ecosystem. The story follows the main character, Peony, who wants to live on the farm she grew up on and be a Bee- pollinating trees by hand to make them grow in a world where bees are extinct.
Writing
In Writing, we have finished off our narratives and enjoyed reading gripping narrative hooks to get readers interested, metaphors and similes as well as vivid descriptions to help the reader visualise what is happening in the story.
Discovery
Our 5/6s have been participating in their own mock parliament, voting simulations and are now beginning to research one of the aspects of government that interests them. These will be presented at the Discovery open afternoon on Tuesday June 23. We look forward to sharing our learning with you.
