Malala Yousafzai Class Update Autumn 2024

We have had a fun and busy week in Year 5!

Year Five have had a fabulous start to their new school academic year. From the moment they all stepped into the classroom they have shown enthusiasm and eagerness to learn! We have had some amazing work, from setting descriptions in English to learning about lifecycles and different parts of plants in science. I am super excited for the year ahead.

 

Year 5 have a brilliant attitude to learning and many eager to take every opportunity that they can!


We have started the year writing some setting descriptions. Here are a couple for you to enjoy.

On a gloomy dark evening, I was walking around London but for some reason I felt like someone or maybe something was following me, it was strange. Then I heard this voice in the distance saying my name. I shouted “Who are you? And how do you know my name?”


“Oh I know every bodies name dear” said she “As I am a ghost and I’ve been watching you.”


And then I knew who she was, she was the Women in White my parents have told me stories about her but I didn’t think they were real …

Then she reached out and grabbed me and forever more I am a ghost and have taken her spot!

At the end of the train track a mysterious figure appeared out of nowhere.

All around was pitch black and foggy mist so I couldn’t see who it was.


I started hearing bells in my head my stomach churned then I looked up at the figure disappeared I looked all around and all I could see was the black night.


Then I ran far and tripped and fell and there it was; a figure in front of me, white garments from head to toe! I don’t know what to do—to run or hide? Then she said something? “What train goes to London?” I said “12pm the train goes to London.” We turned around and the train was coming!
