Today we dressed up in 1940s or WW2 attire. We had great fun creating artwork which was influenced by the past (the Coventry Blitz) and the work of Sandra Lawrence. As well as this created poetry inspired by the Blitz and imaged what life would have been like for an evacuated child.

Year 5 learnt about the key events in the Coventry Blitz on November 14^th 1940.  They experienced the Blitz at the Transport Museum, visited the Herbert Art Gallery to sit in an Anderson Shelter and reflected on the impact of the Blitz in the old Coventry Cathedral.  The children explored the wealth of history in our local town centre and how events from the past will have impacted on the city and its people. 

This week, is local history week and we will be learning all about how Coventry has changed over the years and learning about the story of Lady Godiva. We will be doing history every afternoon this week instead of our other foundation subjects.

Last week, the children completed the phonics screening test and we were very impressed with the amazing progress the children have made. Well done to the children and parents and carers for all your support in their home learning. Please continue to read the online books, complete the quiz and read the books sent home.

In Maths, we will be continuing to learn about money and how to count coins.

This week, is also assessment week and the children will be assessed on Reading, Grammar, Spelling and Maths to see what they have learnt in year one.
