Y5 - Compassion Class

Our class novel for Spring Term: Scavengers

 

Written by: Darren Simpson

 The scavengers’ universe is made up of just two: young Landfill and old Bagaboo, who hide from an ill-defined enemy in an Eden Bagaboo has created out of detritus. Loving, but strict, Bagaboo has his own dialect and rules: chiefly, hide and obey. Landfill, though, makes a series of increasingly disturbing discoveries that seed doubt and rebellion, and the reader’s suspicions as to what is really happening gradually crystallise with a mixture of fascination and alarm. It’s a hugely compassionate, sophisticated novel, about inclusion and exclusion, and who – or what – is really crazy.’

 

Welcome to Year 5, where the world is your oyster. As you move along Year 5's timeline we will start our journey with the Ancient Greeks, discover the fascinating Mayan creation and become scientists when learning about life cycles. We bring learning alive and recreate natural disasters, before taking you into the stars to learn about our solar system and beyond.

In our class we are not rising stars, we reach for infinity and beyond!
 
Miss Rundle, Mr Clemo, Mrs Fox, Mrs Davies and Mrs. Whaley are here to help you with your learning every step of the way.
