Vikings WOW Work

Kittie and Millie created this work for the WOW Display in 5AC. 

The work was thought to be so impressive that Kitty, Yasmin, Evie and Millie presented it to their class.

Well done girls!

Into the Valley II

Back in March, we shared poetic writing from 5AC. This month, 5DA/LM have given the same task a go. Below is writing by Amelia and Wyatt.

Haiku

This week, we've been writing some haiku. Take a look at the examples here. Do they follow the right pattern?

Ryan

The loud long cool noise

The storm sounds extremely loud

Extraordinary 

Alex

Peaceful sea big waves

Small boat with two children

Bright moon shining on the boat

Mia

The storm was gloomy,

The waves splashed against a rock,

And the noise was loud.

Ruby

The thunder was loud,

Big flashing lightning was bright,

Huge waves are crashing.

Grace

Huge waves dancing fast

Loud sea swallowing the bout

Huge sea glistening

Luke

The blue crashing waves,   

Climbing over the small boat,

In the scary sea.

Flags Containing the Union Flag

🇧🇲 🇰🇾 🇹🇻 🇬🇧

Around the world, there are a number of flags that contain a Union Flag on them. Why? Not all the reasons are the same...

Using an iPad device, Morgan and Amelie turned on the emoji keyboard, looked for a flag containing a Union Flag and then tried to find out more about that country. Here's what they have found so far:

Can you tell us anything about other flags, the countries they represent and why the flag looks like it does?

Our Year Five #GE2017 #MockElection

Today is the 2017 General Election Day. Today, Year Five spent the day learning about the process of electing a government.

In Year Five, we have four classes. Each class took on the name of a political party: Vision, Transform, Tomorrow and Future. They chose what ministries their party would have and who would be the minister for that ministry. 

Next, each ministry, lead by their minister, wrote their part of the manifesto.

We all sat and listened to each party deliver their manifesto.

After that, each child visited the Polling Station to cast their vote. 

Votes have been tallied and Yr 5 have a winner in their election. Congratulations to 5SF: The Tomorrow Party with 40% of the vote #GE2017

— Crosshall Junior Sch (@CrosshallJunior) 9 June 2017

We had children responsible for counting the votes. The results were as follows...

5DA/LM - 10.7%
5BH - 27.7%
5SF - 40.2%
5AC - 21.4%
Spoiled Ballots - 0.9%

We hope it was useful in learning about the General Election.
