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.... |
Kensuke's Kingdom tells of how a young boy named Michael mysteriously disappears on the night before his twelfth birthday. Washed up on an island in the Pacific, Michael struggles to survive on his own. With no food and no water, he curls up to die.

Summer 1 Nihon
Our project for this term incorporates Geography, Art and Science.
In science we will be learning about the heart and the circulatory system. We will learn about the components of blood and the structure of the heart. We will undertake an investigation to understand the impact of exercise on the pulse rate. We will learn why repeat readings are important and will also be exploring the components of a healthy lifestyle including diet, sleep, and exercise.
In art we will be recreating our own collective artwork in the inspiration of The Great Wave by Hokusai. As artists we will be exploring using different media including, paint, pencil and printing. We will be using Sushi to create observational drawing and abstract final pieces, created by developing our printing and painting skills. We shall then develop our clay skills by creating our own sushi piece.
In Geography we will be developing our geographical knowledge of Japan by creating our own tour guide of Japan. This tour guide will include both human and physical geography features.
In English we will be focussing on the book The Great Wave, a story written by Veronique Massenot and Bruno Pilorget, inspired by the artwork The Great Wave by Hokusai. The Great Wave is at heart of a traditional folk tale that we will use as our inspiration for writing.
We will also be writing haiku - a haiku is a specific type of Japanese poem which has 17 syllables divided into three lines of 5, 7, and 5 syllables. Haikus or haiku are typically written on the subject of nature. We will also be writing tourist guides to Japan - focussing on what to see if you are visiting Japan.
