Year 5/6

Stage 3 students have been exploring the Geography unit Organising and Managing Places, developing their understanding of how maps help us navigate, interpret and understand the world around us. Students have been learning about the importance of maps, map features, symbols, directions and scale, and how these tools help us plan journeys and understand distances between places. To put their learning into practice, students are currently planning their own family road trip! They are researching interesting places to visit, mapping out their journey and using maps to calculate distances and plan travel routes. Through this hands-on project, students are developing their geographical skills, problem-solving abilities and understanding of how geographical knowledge can be applied to everyday situations.

We look forward to seeing the creative road trip adventures students plan!

Creative Arts – Dance 

Our students are currently exploring the art of Dance, developing their creativity, coordination and confidence through movement. Students are investigating a range of dance elements, including rhythm, tempo, dynamics, shapes and choreographic devices, learning how movement can be used to communicate ideas and express meaning. Through collaborative activities, students are experimenting with different movements, creating their own dance sequences and developing their skills in rehearsing and performing. They are also preparing and practicing for our class assembly performance, using their new skills to assist in their routine.
