Class 5 Highfields

Today we did some drama activities to help our understanding of the actions taken in Twelfth Night, including a conscience alley where we helped Viola decide if she should tell Orsino how she really feels #highfieldsshakespeareweek

Continuing our work on Twelfth Night for #highfieldsshakespeareweek, we explored the relationships between the characters and created webs to help our understanding of the story.

In RE this half term we are looking at what we can learn from different religious texts. Today we are researching different holy texts in groups and then presenting our knowledge to the class. #highfieldsRE

Class 5 are studying the play "Twelfth Night" for #highfieldsshakespeareweek . Today we explored the text by reading an abridged version and discussing the characters, their feelings and their actions.

We loved our outdoor learning session with Mrs Drover today. The children explored nature through art activities and made smores round the campfire #highfieldsoutdoorlearning 🍂

We are continuing our geography work on populations by investigating why some countries have such a dense population compared to others. We are identifying human and physical features that might impact the population 🌎

We are investigating the population of different countries today as part of our geography topic, "Map the world" 🌎🗺️#highfieldsgeography

Class 5 are exploring why we have night and day in science as part of our Earth and Space topic #highfieldsscience

We loved learning important first aid skills with Chase Terrace Academy's First Aid Ambassadors yesterday. The children found the session fun and informative and we were very impressed with the knowledge and skill of CT students. @The_CTA_Way

We had an amazing trip last week to @CaldmoreAcademy to meet our penpals who we have been writing to since January. A big thank you to class teacher, Mrs Bradley, and @caldmorecgarden for accommodating us and making the day so much fun.

Class 5 enjoyed careers week, finding out about lots of different potential careers. It gave them a great opportunity to ask questions and start to consider what they would like to do when they're older. Thank you to all the volunteers who came to speak to us!

Class 5 followed their own recipes to create delicious smoothies on Friday. They also worked on branding and packaging.

To finish up our topic on sustainability, Class 5 made placards to encourage others to take responsibility for protecting the environment. We discussed our slogans and why we chose them, then made ourselves heard on a march around the playground. #highfieldsgeography

We had a great time practising circus skills this morning 🎪

Class 5 enjoyed tasting and evaluating different fruits and vegetables today in preparation for making smoothies 🍇🍍🥑🥭 #highfieldsDT

We took our art outside today so we could sketch our self portraits whilst enjoying the sun 🌞 #highfieldsart

Class 5 enjoyed a visit from the animal man today, linking to our science topic: Animals including humans.
