Exhibiting our talents!

After all of the hard work around Black Georgians in Year 5, we were lucky enough to see some of our work exhibited in a special showcase at the Black Cultural Archives on Friday and Saturday. 

We popped along on Friday to see our comic strips  and poetry displayed for the public to peruse and, as you can tell from our photos, we are very proud of our achievements!

 

Huge thanks to the Black Cultural Archives, Adissa (our poetry whiz) and Steve Marchant (comic skills guru) for organising and working with us! We had a great time.

 

 

We'll be making a book of all of our work, so come and have a look if you didn't get a chance to visit the exhibition. 

A Handful Of Coins

I have a handful of coins. I give away 1/3 of them.  How much money do I have left?

All About Olaudah Equiano

We've learnt an awful lot about Olaudah Equianao, a famous writer and abolitionist, in Year 5 this term.  

Rather than asking you questions about his life, we'd like you to write your own quiz and post it in the comments for others to try and complete! 

For instance,  my quiz would start:

1) Where was Olaudah Equiano born?

2) Where did Equiano live when he was enslaved with a widow?

3) How old was Equiano when he came over to London?

To answer a quiz, simply respond to the comment with your answers! Remember to make it clear which answer corresponds with which question! EG:

1) Benin

Sumdog Lambeth Contest

Year 4 Red are currently doing really well in the Lambeth Contest on Sumdog, and are in 7th place. 

Make sure you answer all of your questions carefully and accurately in order to bump up our score and let's aim to get a Hill Mead class at the top of the leaderboard!!

Factor Fun

We have been learning all about factors this week, and using our knowledge to solve factor triangles. 

Using mathematical vocabulary, can you explain to your peers what a factor is?

Vocabulary you could use would include:

Maritime Madness

This week Year 5 went to the National Maritime Museum to learn more about the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade.  

What was the most interesting thing you learnt? What really shocked you? How did the exhibition make you think differently about enslavement?

Comic Chaos!

The wonderful comic creator Steve Marchant came into Year 5 Blue today to show us how to create a comic strip based around our topic Black Georgians.  

Year 5 Red are yet to have the privilege of working with Steve, so 5 Blue, what would your top tips for 5 Red be?
