This week in 5P the children, during History, explored the concept of democracy, comparing the present day to Ancient Greece. This fed in to our big question this half term – ‘is democracy always fair?’. This lesson was filled with opportunities for class debate, thought chains, freeze frames and opinion polls.

Above, you can see the children further exploring our model text, Theseus and the Minotaur, during our Writing lessons. Here, pupils decoded and collected important and exciting features in the text.

In Maths, we contained with our place value unit. The photos show the children’s initial work looking in to the powers of 10. 5P thrived during their independent work due to this initial paired discussion using manipulatives.
