Autumn 1

Birch class have had a fantastic start to Year 5! 

In PE, the children have thoroughly enjoyed their gymnastics sessions with Miss Thompson. In the unit, the children have developed their balance. They explored the difference between symmetrical and asymmetrical movements, working with partners to develop their own routines. The children also enjoyed using the equipment in gymnastics to vary the levels of their movements and balances. 

In History, we have absolutely loved learning about World War Two. We have found out all about the chronology of WW2, plotting significant events on a timeline. We enjoyed learning all about how the war impacted real people, including the many children who were evacuated. The children even  got to explore real artefacts from a child evacuee from the North East!
