Well, here we are with blog number two – keeping you informed of all that is going on in Year 5/6! We have had another week of fun and exciting learning where the children have worked extremely hard and have completed work to a very high standard.
In English we have been learning about the power of persuasion and the purpose and audience of different texts. The children have explored different persuasive phrases and have created some excellent posters focussing on the layout and structure of their writing.
The highlight of the week, for 5/6T, was our trip to the Imperial War Museum in London. The children had a fantastic day exploring, learning and finding out about life during World War 2. It was a real joy to see their enthusiasm and to watch them eager to find out about objects and artefacts from the 1940’s. They experienced what it was like to be in an air raid shelter and explored the life of a family from that time. As always, the children did Beechwood proud – their behaviour was impeccable and was noticed and mentioned by several members of the public. 56B and 56D get their opportunity next week!
Finally, the week ended with our annual Roald Dahl Day. Beechwood was visited by a variety of characters from the Roald Dahl stories including: Willy Wonka, Miss Honey, The Witches, The BFG and many, many more! Children in Upper Key Stage 2 made a huge effort with their costumes and enjoyed doing work and activities related to Roald Dahl.
Next Week: Visit us next week to see news of Year 5’s visit to the cinema, our Harvest Service and the second wave of children visiting the Imperial War Museum.
