We love learning about different cultures. We looked at the carved African animals and artefacts. “This one’s heavy and cold. It’s made of stone”. “The lion is made of wood. It’s got big, sharp teeth.”
A zebra has stripes, I’ve found a zebra!

We enjoy reading non-fiction and story books.
“Look, you have to get a plane to go to Africa.”

We can imagine what is like to live in an African village.
“Will you get some fruit for our tea?”

Phew, sweeping the floor outside our mud hut is hard work!

Back to Victorian Timestag:www.colegateprimary.org,2008://1.552008-02-07T15:44:46Z2008-02-07T16:30:21ZYear 5 Last half term we studied the topic of The Victorians and lots of our work was based around this. We took a trip back in time in November to Beamish Museum where some children worked as maids and...guest
Other children played the part of Victorian school children and had a lesson from a very strict Victorian teacher who practised handwriting and mathematics with them. We read the book ‘Street Child’ by Berlie Doherty, the story of a young orphan fighting for survival on the streets of London. We all loved this novel and lots of written work and artwork came from it. We made and tasted gruel, it was awful, we were glad we didn’t live in the Victorian times!
We also put on a Christmas performance for the whole school and parents called Santa’s on Strike – we were nervous but it was brilliant!!

Children at Colegate learn French across both key stages 1 and 2. There is a penfriend programme in place for some of the children in Year 6.
