We have had a great start to Year five. The children seemed to have settled well in their new classes and have been working hard. Our ‘Smashing Saxons’ topic has now begun and the children have been learning all about Anglo-Saxon times. To accompany this topic, in Literacy, we have been reading ‘Beowulf’ by Michael Morpurgo. The children have been very busy writing a diary, imagining themselves as the heroic title character. We are now looking forward to the exciting activities Beaumanor has in store for us next week and will be excited to share with you the children’s adventures in the next blog.
