Year 5 News

Year 5 have settled back into term really well.  They have continued their fabulous Boudicca movie trailer films and have started to focus their learning on Roman innovations, including those we can see evidence of today. 
There were some strange happenings as Pebble the Pig went missing from Class 5: a crime scene was declared, doors were taped and the children visited each class in school trying to find out where she had gone. The main suspects were Ms Wiltshire, Mr Hipkiss and Mr Endersby! Eventually, it became clear that Mr Hipkiss had borrowed Pebble on Tuesday and he dutifully returned her to her rightful place on the class 5 radiator. Year 5 have used this as a hook to begin their work on newspaper reporting.
