In History this week, Year 5 have been investigating how the Shang dynasty is similar and different to other Bronze Age civilisations such as the ancient Egyptians and Bronze Age Britain. The children went on a fact hunt to discover what was the same and what was different about these periods of history.

In PSHE lessons, children have been discussing how we celebrate differences and treat everybody equally no matter our differences. This week, we discussed racism, what it is, how people feel if they are a victim of racism and what the consequences of racism are. Children create racism posters/badges to show how they have a zero tolerance for racism!
