I would like to take this opportunity to welcome you to Franklin Class, we are a mixed age class made up of children in Year 5 and Year 6.<\/p>

\u201cLearn from yesterday, live for today and hope for tomorrow.\u201d <\/em><\/strong>Albert Einstein<\/strong><\/p>

The Franklin Class team work tirelessly with the children and parents alike to ensure that everyone can make progress, enjoy their time in school and develop their love of learning so that they can achieve their full potential in our nurturing and vibrant classroom environment. \u00a0We pride ourselves on giving the children exciting and unforgettable opportunities that are rewarding and challenging so that everyone can shine their light (Matthew 5: 16). We provide a gateway of discovery through our creative and diverse curriculum, with topics covered such as the Britain\u2019s Role in WWII, the Ancient Greeks, Sustainability and Our Natural Environment, alongside all of our curriculum subjects, as we support the children on their journey to becoming global disciples who positively impact on the world around us. We pride ourselves on building resilience as our children reach near the end of their learning journey within our school. The teaching and learning in our most senior classroom will\u00a0help to ensure that\u00a0the children are supported to\u00a0develop confidence and independence in preparation for the next chapter of their lives. Alongside supporting children to reach their academic potential, they are also given many additional responsibilities around the school to help\u00a0ensure the\u00a0children are ready for their transition to secondary school. Through hard work, determination, resilience and dedication to their learning the children in Franklin Class also make many happy memories, lasting friendships and develop an increased confidence to take with them on their adventures further up the school and when making that transition to their new secondary school. \u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

This term has been incredibly busy and productive for Franklin Class (Years 5\/6) and the children have worked extremely hard across all areas of the curriculum.

In English, pupils have been studying *The Windrush Child* by Benjamin Zephaniah. They explored the emotions and experiences of Leonard as he journeys from Jamaica to Manchester, thoughtfully discussing the differences in culture as well as the prejudice and racism he encountered. On World Book Day, the class captured this powerful journey through emotive performance poetry, a wonderful rendition of Bob Marley\u2019s *Three Little Birds*, and some fantastic mixed media artwork comparing a vibrant tropical environment with an English urban landscape.

In Guided Reading, the children have been learning about influential figures in Islamic history, linking closely with our History topic on Ancient Islamic Civilisations. Meanwhile in Science, they have been investigating **Forces**, carrying out experiments to answer questions such as whether heavier objects fall faster than lighter ones.

With SATs on the horizon, the class has shown tremendous determination\u2014practising, practising, and practising some more! Their hard work and positive attitudes have been wonderful to see. Alongside this, they have also created beautiful Mother\u2019s Day and Easter cards, showcasing their creativity and artistic talents.

To round off the term, the whole class has been busy learning songs and stories, culminating in a joyful and uplifting service at St Bartholomew\u2019s Church.

Well done to all of Franklin Class for a fantastic term of hard work, creativity and perseverance. We are very proud of everything you have achieved\u2014keep up the great work!
