03.02.23 Here are some of the diagrams Falcon drew in History to demonstrate their understanding of the design of Ancient Baghdad!
02.02.23 In Guided Reading we compared Jabir’s character within the Golden Horsemen of Baghdad and then compared that book with our previous class novel of The Invention of Hugo Cabret!
31.01.23 continuing our work on the circulatory system, we created a physical representation (bean bags representing oxygen) and practised walking through the journey of blood in our bodies.
31.01.23 In science, we used marshmallows and cocktail sticks to be able to see our pulse! Following this, we measured our pulse after exercise and recorded the results on a line graph.
30.01.23 In Guided Reading this week, we have been looking at poetry. Today we looked at the poem ‘Invictus’ and discussed how to effectively perform it aloud. 🗣

10.01.23 Today, Year 5 and 6 took part in an R.E. Workshop to give us a brief understanding about the religion and culture that was present in the Early Islamic Civilization. The Rev. Johnson was a fantastic example of how a Christian can disagree with, but still have respect for, other faiths.
😋09.01.23 Miss Hill is amazing! After Falcon heard about baklava when looking at Arabian bazaars in English, she made us some to try!
06.01.23 In Art we looked at how geometric shapes and symmetry can be used to create arabesque style patterns.
05.01.23 The first lesson in our History topic, we began by looking at where the Golden Age of Baghdad fits alongside other periods of History we have studied. We were shocked at the relative length of Ancient Egypt and it could only fit on the videos below!
