Class Novel

Our class novel is  called 'Time Travelling With A Hamster' which was written by Ross Welford.  Here is the blurb:

Al Chaudhury is a little boy on a mission and he’s taking his hamster with him.

From the title to the very last line, Time Travelling with a Hamster will make you smile. Full of heart and humour, it is a hilarious tale about the dangers of time-travel. Touching, fun and exciting by turns, this debut from Ross Welford, has taken Children’s fiction by storm.

On Al Chaudhury's twelfth birthday his beloved Grandpa Byron gives him a letter from Al's late father. In it Al receives a mission: travel back to 1984 in a secret time machine and save his father's life. Al soon discovers that time travel requires daring and imagination. It also requires lies, theft, setting his school on fire and ignoring philosophical advice from Grandpa Byron. All without losing his pet hamster, Alan Shearer...

Doesn't it sound exciting?!

Our Year So Far...

Here we are taking part in a Vikings workshop. Being able to handle artefacts enabled us to apply our historical skills in a deep and meaningful way.

Every year, the children in Year Five take part in a scheme called BikeAbility which is run by the local council.  The children take part in a two day course which teaches them how to ride their bicycle safely.  Here, the children are practising their cycling skills before venturing onto the local estate. A lot of fun was had by all!
