We have had another exciting week in school. We have been taking inspiration from our build up to writing books to retell the story of The Snowman - by Raymond Briggs, from the perspective of the snowman. We changed the name of James (the young boy) to our buddies name so that we can read them our stories next week.

We have been making electricity circuits for our DT  Christmas cards and Mrs Harper and Mr Williams were so pleased with how much we remembered from Year 4. The children taught each other how to create the circuits. (see photographs.)

In maths we have been translating and reflected shapes.

In music we performed 2 pieces to our budiies on our brass instruments. They especially loved Jingle Bells. (see videos.)

In RE we have continued to learn about where we learn about the nativity, using evidence from the bible to work out why Matthew and Luke gave different versions of the same events and why Matthew wrote about the Magi, Kind Herod and Jeseus, Mary and Joseph fleeing to Egypt and why Luke wrote about the  shepherds and manger.

5H have been completing their National Curriculum targets in swimming. Next week will be our last session.

In computing we wrote short scripts  in a planning format, thinking about the camera angles we would use for each shot, then filmed our scenes using our plans before evaluating their success.

It was also Christmas dinner day and there are some photos of us having a lovely time in the hall.
