Chestnuts have settled extremely well into Year 5 life and have taken it all in their stride.  We have been using Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone as our class text and have linked our English and Art through it.  In English we have been writing diaries as we journey to Hogwarts for the first time, have created instructions for making a potion and have written an adventure story for rescuing a stolen object from the Forbidden Forest!  In Art, we have focused on adding texture and thinking about scale and proportion when sketching.  We hope you like our art from the photograph!  In History, we have found out about history in our local area, the impact of the Industrial Revolution on the North East and have studied specific jobs such as Mining.  Excellent work Chestnuts!
