Year 5 have been learning about Harriet Tubman, the American abolitionist who helped those enslaved in America with over 13 successful rescue missions, the children have completed their biographies. In French this week the children demonstrated the power of active learning as we drew and labelled french clothes - listening, sharing, transcribing and choosing colours and designs. We have also been expanding our English grammar skills , creating beautiful spring pastel art. The Year 5's have also been inspirational to us all with fabulous spring poems in our Easter assembly! Year 5's have had the most exciting few weeks creating outstanding book nooks for all to enjoy- transporting ourselves into a world of books creating our favourite literary characters. What greater comfort is there than to accompany our friends on such a journey into stories . Boosting cognitive and emotional abilities, sharpening our thinking skills, developing our inner strengths we nurtured optimism and also began writing our own works of fiction. Active , multisensory maths , reducing frustration , cognitive load , increasing neuroplasticity & developing concentration & focus - these activities enable children to learn through joy and creativity. Helping create strong memories these games support learning & stimulate various areas in the brain . Creating " hooks" to help children retain knowledge, they also allow children to explore working in different teams and try new friendships..... |
