This week, the children have had another busy and exciting week of learning. In P.E., they have been developing their skills and teamwork through games of rounders. In English, the children have been writing sentences using adverbial clauses, as well as creating detailed descriptions of characters and settings to develop their writing.
A particular highlight of the week has been our Democracy Week work. The children worked incredibly hard as they explored the importance of democracy and why it is one of our British Values. Working in teams, they chose a charity that they believed should become one of our school’s chosen charities. They researched the charity’s work, why it is important, and how it helps others before presenting their findings on an informative display board. The children then shared their learning during an assembly to Years 3 and 4, explaining why their chosen charity deserved to be selected. Finally, the children in Years 3, 4 and 5 took part in a democratic vote, casting their top three choices in a ballot box. It has been wonderful to see the children working collaboratively and getting involved in our Democracy Week!
