This week, Class 5 have been a little bit ‘quackers’ as we made our duck mascot for Children in Need day. We had lots of ideas for the team name for our class, but settled on ‘Class 5 Quackers.’ The children cut out the duck shape and painted it’s body and wings and did an amazing job, too!

That’s not the only Children in Need activities we’ve been doing. We had a colouring competition in class and, also, baked a cake in the shape of Pudsey. The standard for the colouring competition was very high! In fact, it was so good, there had to be two winners as it was impossible to choose just one! The Pudsey cake was amazing; the children did a brilliant job of baking it and icing it and it definitely tasted lovely, too!

As well as Children in Need work, we continued doing lots of number work in maths and, in English, began our work for The Linking Project.

The Linking Project joins schools from different areas together to explore identity, celebrate diversity, promote community and champion equality. Our class has been linked with Belford First School. In English, we have been writing an ‘All About Me’ poster that we can send to their school so, before we meet the Belford children in January, they can learn a little bit about us.

In design and technology we have been making dragons that ‘breathe’ fire. These aren’t quite finished yet so you’ll have to wait to see the end results! So far, they are looking great!
