Year Five

This week in year 5, we have been continuing with our inquiry on ‘Social evolution can have lasting consequences for communities.’ For our third and final line of inquiry ‘The relationship between rights and responsibilities’ we have been looking at ‘crime and punishment’ through history. We have looked at ‘Draconian’ Greek laws, where every crime resulted in death, democracy in Roman times and’ titherings’ in Anglo-Saxon times. The children then had the choice to research crime and punishment in either Tudor or Victorian times and compare it to modern day sanctions. In art, we finished our collages of the Houses of Parliament inspired by Megan Coyle, and in Science we finished our last lesson on human development looking at ‘Late adulthood’.
