Year 5…Here We Are!

Year 5 have done a lot of reading so far this year! Early on, we read Here We Are by Oliver Jeffers, which got us thinking about the world and our place in it. We used the book as inspiration for our alien journal entries in English, writing from the perspective of visitors exploring Earth for the first time. It was a great way to link reading with creative writing.

In Latin, our lessons have included reading some comic strips, which helped us understand the language in a more visual and engaging way. These also inspired 5TH's recent class assembly, where we brought some of the stories to life.

For our DEAR (Drop Everything And Read) time, we’re currently reading Wonder by R.J. Palacio - it’s been interesting to follow the story from different characters’ perspectives and think about how people experience the same events in different ways!
