Term 2


Primary 4/5 have had a fun filled and busy term 2.


Our main class topic has been 'Refugee Rights' and has linked in well with the current events happening in the world. The children have enjoyed exploring current issues, engaging with BBC Newsround in class and other news forms at home. All of the boys and girls in Room 11 are aware of their rights and can discuss these maturely. We presented a wonderful assembly all about UNICEF and children's rights. It included lots of information, videos, songs, poetry and a play about Paddington Bear, a well known Refugee. We wrote letters to local business asking for their support in donations to our chosen charity, Save the Children. We also took time to write letters to the U.K. Prime Minister, David Cameron to ask him and ensure that all children's rights are being met as we have been extremely interested in learning about the 42 Articles.



We thoroughly enjoyed going along to watch Room 9 and 10's 'Trashion Show'. It was a fun reminder to Reduce, Reuse and Recyle. We loved all of the children's posing on the catwalk!


In science we undertook an experiment to look at what happens when materials are changed. We had such fun out in the breakout space mixing bicarbonate of soda and vinegar together, despite the horrible smell it made! This just showed us that by mixing these two substances together we achieved a reaction, as well as sound, state and smell. Look at our pictures below.
