The children have settled into Year 5 brilliantly and have had a busy and exciting first week exploring the theme of Africa. Together, we have investigated the geography of the continent, learning about its diverse landscapes, countries, and natural features. The children also discovered the work of a range of African artists and enjoyed recreating some of their vibrant artwork in their own unique styles. As part of our DT project, the class designed and created flags of different African countries, experimenting with the technique of batik as well as practising their sewing skills to bring their designs to life. A highlight of the week was Mr. Geldhill's assembly, who shared fascinating stories about his experiences teaching in Africa. The children listened with great enthusiasm and asked thoughtful questions, making it a truly memorable experience.
