Envirosort Trip

Year 5 concluded their Ancient Greek topic as 'traders' before half-term. The children enjoyed their lessons looking at how people traded goods across Ancient Greek city-states and with other countries! So much so, that the Year 5 classrooms were turned into market places, in the style of Ancient Greece. Each child brought in their own second-hand, wrapped item ready to trade with someone else - mimicking the bartering system in place before the 1^st Greek coins. There were a range of items, from books and stationery to scrunchies and home-made bracelets! There were so many happy faces leaving with their new items! Thank you to everyone who contributed. 

Year 5 brought all of their lessons in Judaism to an exciting close by visiting Birmingham Progressive Synagogue last week. Having already learnt a lot about this religion, the children were prepared with well thought out questions, which were praised by the chairman of the synagogue. They enjoyed seeing all of the artefacts, such as the Sefer Torah and the ark. The children should be proud of their conduct!

Year 5 enjoyed their trip to Envirosort as part of their 'Plastic Pollution' topic. Both classes learnt about the process of recycling, seeing it in action, and then re-enacted each stage. They are now ready to take on the challenge of saving the planet - one plastic bottle at a time!
