11/10/24 This week in Year 5

Date: 14th Oct 2024 @ 9:19am

This week in Year 5, we have been learning all about William Shakespeare in preparation for writing a biography about his life. Your child should be able to tell you all about his life, from his childohod, through his career up to his death and legacy.  We have continued our Tudor learning in History by considering the reasons for the English Reformation and Henry VIII's split from the Catholic church. Was it for wealth, power or religion? Why not ask your child to see which they belive to be the most significant reason. 

 It was Year 5's 'makers space' week and we enjoyed creating minature portraits in the style of Hans Holbein and Nicholas Hilliard. The children were amazing and making sure their portrait was small whilst still keeping it detailed. We are all very impressed by the creativity of everyone in Year 5.

A date for your diaries, Thursday 24th of October will be Year 5's assembly at 9:05 and we would love to see as many of you there as possible to watch the childen's hard work on show.
