| Even though it has been a short week in Year 5 it has been another busy week. We have made a great start preparing for our sharing day for our Migration unit through drama, making clay sculptures and music. As well as expressive arts we have begun our inquiry into different migration stories by reading, watching and hearing about a variety of real life experiences. The children are excited to make a start on their case studies where they will explain and describe the process and experiences of either a personal, local or global migration story. |
We have also started using our BHS House Point system- well done to everyone who has earned house points so far this week. Keep up the good work to earn house points for behaviour, effort, attitude or care.
Migration can have an impact on people and society
Lines of Inquiry:
- The reasons why people migrate (causation)
- Migration throughout history (causation)
- The challenges, risks and opportunities of migration (perspective)
Next week we will continue to work on our Drama frieze frames displaying the five stages of migration as well as introducing the idea of thought tracking. We will begin to apply our knowledge of synthesising, summarising and sourcing to our independent case studies. As we further our knowledge of different migration stories, we will aim to create our own perspective and causation questions to help us guide our research.
There was no Golden Book this week due to school being closed.
Home reading should continue as normal.
Children can also access Mathletics and Reading Eggpress throughout the half term break.
| Homework is now handed out on Monday and due in on the Friday: On a blank piece of paper or Google doc, write the words ‘MIgration is…’Underneath we would like you to write down keywords that relate to migration or show your understanding of what migration is. You only need to write down words, not sentences. Then write a few statements to reflect what migrations means to you, how someone might feel during the stages of migration or what they might say or talk about if they were asked to describe their migration story. |
Please remind children to bring their book bags to school on their library days so that they are borrowing library books on a weekly basis. Library books should be carried inside a book bag to keep them nice and safe
BHS Community Choir
