Peace day - refugees

 Yesterday was Peace day.  Today 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. We also looked at the book 'The Colour of home' where a young boy from Somalia finds it hard being a refugee in Britain.

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. 

Exploring and generating words associated with houses

Y5C have been thinking about words associated with houses.  We brainstormed as many words as we could think of and discussed alternative and unfamiliar words. 

Angus's 50 mile challenge

Today Angus gave a fantastic presentation on his 50 mile challenge.

During the Summer holidays Angus cycled Bristol to Radstock and back to raise money for St. Peter's Hospice.  St Peter's Hospice is a Bristol charity caring for adults with life-limiting illnesses. They aim to improve the quality of their living and dying while extending care and support to their families and loved ones.

There's no place like home

Today Y5C began their project 'There's no place like home'. During the topic the class will be studying homes & houses and about our home (Bristol/UK). We kicked off the project by playing the property game Monopoly. As well as being great fun, the game provided lots of opportunities to improve our maths such as money and calculation skills. We found out the meaning of vocabulary in the game such as auction, rent and tax.
