Latest news in Year 5.
Year 5 have been fully engaged in The Highwayman poem. We had a great lesson completing research about Highwaymen. We even found out that the famous Highwayman, Dick Turpin, escaped from the local Justices of the Peace through a secret passage at the Roebuck Inn in Stevenage. We have enjoyed getting outside for our experience days and writing similes and metaphors using nature in the school grounds. As we have been re-creating our own poems, we have been able to make good use of these.
In Science, we have been answering the learning question 'How does the position of the Sun in the sky change?' We set up our own experiment to track the sun throughout the day and recorded the shadow of a stick to help us understand what is happening.
