Refugees

Today Y5C continued yesterday's learning from Peace Day on refugees.  We looked at the book 'The Colour of home' where a young boy from Somalia finds it hard being a refugee in Britain.  




In geography we located the countries Europe's refugees are coming from.

School Choir to sing at St George's, Bristol

Last May, our Year Six class took part in a workshop with the musician, Andy Sheppard, to write the last verse of a new piece of work to celebrate Bristol Green Capital. The full song is now to be performed for the first time on Tuesday October 13th at St George's Bristol by Gurt Lush choir and our own St Joseph's choir as part of the Bristol Festival of Song.  This is a really great opportunity for members of the choir to sing in a fabulous venue.
If you would like to be part of the audience, please click on this link: http://www.stgeorgesbristol.co.uk/event/the-divine-paradox-of-human-beings-in-paradise/

Peace day - refugees

Today for Peace Day Y5C have been studying refugees.  We built refugee tents to highlight the number of refugees fleeing war and persecution. Refugees are forced to leave their homes behind and travel to a new country, often to set up home at a refugee camp with tents.

Locating & evaluating homes around the world

Y5C have been exploring homes around the world as part of their 'No place like home' topic.  We began by matching different homes to descriptions about them.  Afterwards we located these homes on a world map and then evaluated their positives and negatives.
