Parallel and Perpendicular lines – Year 5 and Year 6 Maths

Recognising the properties of shapes can be extremely tricky especially when you’re having to use words that you wouldn’t normally use.  So, to help us remember, identify and understand we decided to ‘become’ parallel and perpendicular! We had a lot of fun being inventive with our bodies to show the mathematical vocabulary.

A Christmas Carol

A group of children from years 5 and 6 went to see a production of A Christmas Carol in the West End.  Read Jakob’s short review below:

A Christmas Callow

The amazing Simon Callow is currently performing a brilliant one man show of A Christmas Carol – the story of Scrooge and the three ghosts of Christmas. A Christmas Carol has been a story that has been told every Christmas and has become a winter favourite. This classic story has been adapted in so many ways but this show has come back to the original Dickens classic.

Callow made use of just a curtain, some chairs and his phenomenal acting. Being Scrooge, the ghosts, all the authentic characters and even the narrator, Callow portrayed this parable as a brilliant, gripping, exciting and fun-for-all show.
