Malone Year 5
Allotment
Look at how our wonderful allotment has developed over the term!
I have seen great teamwork from all the children, they have supported each other and some have even overcome fears.
The children have worked so hard on making sure they carefully planted the seedlings and have continued to care for them during our lunchtime rota.
We have also seen some interesting wildlife including ‘Gary’ the slow worm

Freshwater theatre workshop - Friday 15th March
Inspiring Women
Led by Hera, the Greek Goddess of Women (and Marriage), this workshop introduced the children to a range inspirational women from various spheres: adventurous and pioneering women, women in the arts, women in politics and women in science.
They visited different locations and time periods, the children took part in activities to explore the lives of extraordinary women through history such as Amelia Earhart, Frida Kahlo, Rosa Parks and Edith Cavell, we celebrated their achievements and considered how the children themselves might become inspirational people of the future!

I really like the Spelling Maze Monsters game.
Malone Class, are honoured to have been chosen to start the school WE project for this year. It was wonderful to see the children so passionate and empowered that they can make a difference within their community. We spent the morning with Tracy from WE who helped us bring our ideas together. We will be sharing our action plans very soon ....
We have been reading 'Mouse, Bird, Snake, Wolf' by David Almond. Just like Little Ben in the story, we created our own animals and brought them to life in our English writing!
Year 5/6 Tudor Museum. A huge thank you to everyone who made something at home, together you have created a fantastic display. We are immensely proud and hope you are too.
Tudor dancing

Malone Class have been fantastic at learning some dances from Tudor times and have shown great team work. The next step is to see if we can use the dances we have learnt and bring them up to date with a modern song.

Good evening!
We have had a fab week this week! So many amazing things have been learnt but most exciting (according to the children) was having our visitors from Northern Trust bank. Northern Trust bank came to teach us about money- how to save, spend and invest...lots of us had very different ideas as to how best to use our money...it was such fun!
Please ask the children about it as they had such a blast and all made such unique choices...
Have a brilliant week!
Best Wishes
Mrs Bourne :)
