Week 3




On Wednesday Year five went to the Redbridge museum to have our history lesson about how other countries helped Britain in world war two. In this photo we were doing an activity.We had to read slips about photos from the world war then match them up with their correct photo.









On Thursday, we had an art lesson about patterns from around the world.S ome children brought in pattens from their culture so we could copy them.












In Literacy, we are studying stories from around the world. The story that we have been looking at this week is from Africa. It is called Kirikou and the Soceress.We had to describe Kirikou's character. Many of the class said Kirikou may be tiny but he is quite mighty. We enjoyed the story very much.

Class 5N Cultural week

Firstly in 5N we have been learning about multiculturalism in Britain. We have been having fun doing different things like dancing to music from different cultures, bread tasting and learning about different cultures.
Secondly for the bread tasting, 5N had so much fun because most children in the class brought in different breads from their culture and we all tried the bread. It was amazing becauuse when we were trying the bread it felt like we were travelling to the countries where the bread came from.
Next we learned about India. We focussed on the story, The Wizard Punchkin and we all enjoyed it. We wrote an alternative ending for the story.
Lastly in PE, we learned a dance from india, called the stick dance. We had to partner up with somebody and Miss Nwichi showed us the dance. Then we had to copy what Miss Nwichi did. It was good learning the dance because we were learnig different things about India so it was fun when we leart a dance from India. That was our week in year 5. By Eleanor
