Welcome to Kestrel class
​
By Marianna, Adelina and Eden
We are the courageous Kestrels that are super excited to be in year 5! Our team is Miss Rose, Mrs Thompson, Miss Higginbottom and Mr Critchley. Together we form Kestrels.
We are good friends to each other and support each other when our friends need us.
We love to spend time together, especially during our class story time. We have just read The Boy at the Back of the class and now we are reading Letters from the Lighthouse.
I hope you enjoyed our introduction to our amazing journey but keep in mind this is only the beginning....

'The boy's an absolute menace.' 'Why can't he be more like his sister?' 'He's a bully. A lost cause!' A bully or a hero? Hector spends most of his school day in detention where his most inspiring ideas come to mind. No one ever believes him about anything even when he is telling the truth. And it's only got worse since playing a prank on the old man who lives in the park.

Summer 2 Creation
​
​

Our project for this term incorporates R.E,  Computing and Science.
​

In science we will be learning about evolution and inheritance. We will be learning about how living things have changed over time and use Charles Darwin’s theories to deepen our knowledge of natural selection. We will also learn about fossil formations and how they have provided us with key information about animals that inhabited the Earth millions of year ago. Finally, we will explore offspring of living things understanding why they are not identical to their parents. 


In computing we will be producing our own stop motion films to represent the story of the Creation from Genesis Chapter 1. 
 
In R.E 
we will be learning more about the ongoing debate and controversy around the relationship between the accounts of creation in Genesis and contemporary scientific accounts.
We will look at the Creation story in detail thinking about its purpose and consider if people could interpret the story differently.
We will also explore whether or not people can believe in both cosmology and the Bible.

 
In English we will be conducting research about Charles Darwin and his theory of evolution. We will learn about his life, his research, and the fossils he found and produce our own biographies to celebrate his life achievements.
Drawing upon our new found knowledge of the Galapagos Islands, we will be writing setting descriptions from the perspective of Charles Darwin to describe his first impressions of the island.
