Year 5 Weekly Blog (6. 11. 20)

Date: 4th Nov 2020 @ 1:05pm

We hope you all had a lovely half term and had a chance to have some days outside in the fresh air.

This half term our topic is based upon the Victorians and we will be learning all about life during the reign of Queen Victoria through the eyes of a child, "Jim Jarvis." He is the main character in our class novel "Street child" and as his story unfolds, we will be learning about the real history that matches the life Jim is leading. This week we learnt about the life of Queen Victoria and how the lives of the rich and poor differed greatly 150 years ago.We also read, looked at and described a typical Victorian street scene, with horses, carriages and cobblestone roads.

5L have also had an excellent week learning to cycle safely on the roads and passing their Bikeability training. 5J are all excited for their turn next week.
