Book Week!

We had a fantastic time during Book Week in Year 5. Lots of different things were going on over the week.

Here's just a small selection of the things that went on....

We went on a visit to Hedge End library. We had the chance to have a story read to us by the librarian and she talked to us about how we could join. We also had the chance to browse the books they had so we could come back and borrow some of the super reads that we had spotted!








We've also been busy doing lots of different activities as part of The Hampshire Illustrated Book Award. We had six titles to explore over the week....



We've taken part in lots of different lessons that are based around different themes in each of the texts  which have included..... drama, poetry, painting, creating maps, debates, codebreaking and writing case reports and missing adverts.




After a lot of deliberation, we have chosen Hermelin by Mini Grey as out winner!

We also had a super visit from a storyteller who retold the tale of the Madhatter's Tea Party. Lots of us were involved in the story too!




We turned our door into a book cover! We helped with the artwork to create The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe.


On Friday, we also dressed up as our favourite book characters. Click on each of the pictures to have a closer look. Can you work out which character we are from the book we are holding?

Let Battle Commence!

Romans Vs Iceni
 
After making our banners and studying historical evidence, Year 4 were ready for war.
 
We marched steadily to the battle field.



We lined up on our battle lines.

The Iceni prepared to face the Roman army.





We made sure we swapped sides so all of us got a chance to be on the winning side.
 









 
We had great fun re-enacting the battle and thinking about how we felt.  Surprisingly, we felt different depending on which side we were on.
