WOW Day! - Article 17: Access to Information
In Week 6, we had our enquiry WOW day all about the Victorian era! We kickstarted our day by choosing a Victorian name for ourselves and comparing Victorian and modern classrooms. We were particularly shocked at the punishments Victorian children faced if they were rude or didn't follow instructions. We watched clips about child slavery in coal mines and textile mills and discussed whether their rights were met, linking to the Rights of a Child. We have practised Victorian handwriting and found out about Victorian workhouses. In the afternoon, we explored what games Victorian children played and made our very own thaumatropes.
Article 29 - Aims of Education
In Week 6, we have been working on our purple learning skills. We have talked about what it means to have a growth mindset and how we can learn from our mistakes and have a positive attitude towards our learning. We have created some beautiful posters that we will display in our classroom to motivate us when we are finding our learning tricky. We know that we can achieve anything we want to if we just keep practising!
Article 13 - Sharing thoughts freely
In Week 5, we have had no pens day! During this day, we have used our oracy skills to solve maths problems, immerse ourselves in the our new enquiry book and practise our debating skills. We even got to learn some sign language. Here are some photos and videos of what we got up to!

In Week 4, we have been looking at the work of Picasso. We have practised our colour matching techniques and tried to use his artistic style to complete some of his famous paintings. We are really proud of how they have turned out!
Article 24 - Health, Water, Food and Environment
In Week 3, we have prepared, practised and performed TED talks to showcase our new knowledge from our enquiry into how lives are saved. In these talks, we aimed to give people information about how they can make healthier life choices by considering the Eatwell Food Plate, healthy cooking methods and the negative effects of sugar. We hope you enjoy and can learn something from our TED talks!

Creating and Eating Nutritious Salads - Article 24: Health, Water and Environment
In Week 1, we were able to pick lots of vegetables from our amazing allotment including spring onions, beetroot, lettuce and carrots. We then put into practice our learning from Term 1 about safe and healthy methods of food preparation by washing, chopping, peeling, dicing, grating, roasting and boiling our ingredients. We put them all together to make delicious salads that we all enjoyed eating!
Pumpkin Carving - Article 31: Rest, Play, Culture and Arts
In Week 1, we had a whole school pumpkin carving competition which showcased the children's thought, care and skill. Well done to all those in 5KD who entered! Check out our superb entries below!

In week 7 we have been reflecting on the inspirational people that our school houses are named after.

Seasons and Crops - Article 17: Access to Information

In Week 3, we have been learning about different places of worship. We started off by discussing how to show respect in a place of worship and came up with some fantastic ideas, as shown below! We are looking forward to learning more about Sikhism and their place of worship - a Gurdwara.
WOW-Class Party Article 24 Right to health
Today we kickstarted our new enquiry with a class party. After the party, we thought about the kinds of food that we had and what would happen to our health and bodies if we ate this food all of the time. We realised that we would become unhealthy and even unwell if we had unbalanced diets all of the time so we want to lean about healthy diets so we can keep ourselves in good shape as well as saving lives of others!
