A busy Thursday afternoon in 5/6M!

History detectives

In 5CS, we have been investigating Ancient Greek artefacts. What do you think they are? What do they tell us about life in Ancient Greece?

Year 5 Pandora’s Box

We have started to look at the Greek myth ‘Pandora’s Box.’ We completed a conscience alley to persuade Pandora to open or not to open the box.

‘A Regatta on the Grand Canal’ art project

This week has seen the start of our art project using ‘A Regatta on the Grand Canal’ by Canaletto.  We started with a diamond 9 activity identifying what we considered to be the most important thing about art. We also tried sketching from memory in 3 minutes and even drawing with our less dominant hand. Where will this project take us next?

Year 5 and 6 cricket success!

Our Year 5 and 6 cricket squad took to the field at Stourbridge Cricket Club in the Dudley competition.  Four successive victories saw the squad play a tense final against Colley Lane.  Batting second, our squad just came up 6 runs short of winning despite a flurry of boundaries by our batters.  Well done, team, you played with skill, determination and with a great sense of fairplay!
