Year 5 Trip to The Imperial War Museum

 

The train strikes could not stop us this week from finally visiting the Imperial War Museum.

This trip truly cemented our learning journey this half term as we have been learning in about World War 2 in History with the curriculum link in Literacy.

'Look the poster has the name of the book chapter - Mothers: Send them out of London' - Stiven, Birch

The children were very excited when we arrived. We initially had a talk about various artefacts from WW2 which the children were able to handle and one of our children became the ARP (air raid patrol)!

Some children reclined in a Morrison shelter, whilst others preferred the comfort of the Anderson shelter.

As always we had a great day and they were a credit to our school. Well done year 5

Mersea medical - URGENT

 As we are rapidly approaching the residential trip, there are a few essential details  that we require. Please complete the medical form here as a matter of urgency.

We need any information linked to a condition or allergy as this needs to be shared as a safety precaution. All GDPR regulations will be adhered to. Any medication that needs to be taken, especially if it is usually administered at home, has to be documented. This also covers seasonal asthma, hayfever medication and medical creams. Please note any food or medication allergies need to be evidenced.

As discussed previously, any medications are to be placed in a named pouch which will be kept and administered by the group leader.

🌟 Exploring Shared Values: Our Ethical Journey

This week, our classes looked at how shared values like honesty, kindness, and integrity guide people in their daily lives. We used Islamic teachings to see how different beliefs provide a "roadmap" for doing the right thing.

Learning Together

The children explored three main sources of guidance: wise words (Qur’an), helpful sayings (Hadith), and good examples (Sunnah). We then linked these to universal goals that everyone can appreciate:

• Being kind to our families.

• Keeping our promises.

• Helping those in need.

Bringing Values to Life

To finish, the children worked in groups to perform "Freeze-Frame" scenes. They acted out tricky situations - like deciding whether to tell the truth - and used their "narrator" to explain how following these positive values leads to the best outcome.

It was a fantastic session that showed how, no matter our backgrounds, we can all work together to build a kinder community!

Year 5 experiences

 This term as one of our experiences, we are looking to support an animal shelter. The Romford greyhound association is a local charity that takes care of greyhounds when they no longer race and rehomes them into loving homes. I have spoken to them to ask what we can do to support them with regards to bedding and food. If the children can bring in dog food (tinned or biscuits), newspapers for bedding or animal toys, it would be greatly appreciated. I'm sure we can rally around and make a difference to the charity. One of the charity workers will be happy to come into school to collect the donations. Please can we all try to support this as every small donation will make a difference and become part of a large donation.
