Healthy Living topic. We have been sorting healthy and unhealthy foods into different groups. We have also been discussing healthy and unhealthy activities we do. We have been learning about all the things we can do to keep our bodies healthy and happy…. healthy eat, exercise, sleep, happy attitude, fresh air, drinking water and keeping clean.
Here we are looking through magazines finding loads of different foods we can eat. We then sorted them into healthy/unhealthy group.

Happy New Year from all in Class 5. This month we enjoyed the topic house and home. We learned about all the different types of houses/buildings people can live in. We had great fun doing our Art project where we all got to make a house/building. We recycled old and used items such as cereal boxes, toilet rolls, straws, lids from bottles, bottles and tinfoil. We had to design our house and we created masterpieces! When we had all our 3D houses completed we invited all the different classes to our Art exhibition where we showed off our hard work and shared some information with everyone about the house/building we designed!
Conor made a Lighthouse.
Ethan made a cottage.
Jamie made a castle.
Chijundu made a caravan.
Patrick made a windmill.

November 2018
We all returned after our mid term break happy and ready to learn loads of new things. This term we have been discussing how the weather has got much colder and how it will get even colder over the winter months. We decided to take responsibility for feeding all the birds in our school garden during the winter months. We visited the pet shop and got all our supplies and have been busy making sure the birds have enough foods to eat.
This term we also enjoyed discussing all things Rugby and followed the Rugby team on their journey to beating New Zealand! We had fun practising our Rugby skills, learning the national anthem and learning all things associated with Rugby.
