This week in English, Year 5 have been exploring characters’ inner thoughts and feelings. Using a scene from Diver’s Daughter, the children stepped into the shoes of different characters to imagine what they might be thinking and feeling. They brought their characters to life through role-play, using facial expressions, body language and actions to communicate emotions without always needing words.

In Computing, Year 5 have been developing their coding skills using Scratch. This week, they focused on programming sprites to speak and explored how to animate their names by adding movement and exciting effects. The children enjoyed experimenting with different coding blocks and bringing their creative ideas to life!
