What was Worthing like in the past?
We had a loan box from Worthing Museum which helped to tell us more about what Worthing was like in the past. Some of the items in the box were: a helmet from Dr Rosenburg who helped during WW2, photographs of life in the early 1900s, dress-up to show what people would wear on a seaside holiday to Worthing, a shepherd's smock, and many interesting maps of our local area.
We have learned many interesting facts, including a lot about the market-gardening past of Worthing. Mrs Killey shared stories about her grandad and great-grandad as they were big on the nursery scene!

Year 5 trip to South Downs Planetarium
Jasmyn's Grandad visited us and spoke to us about Hinduism
Today Jasmyn's Grandad brought in some artifacts linked to Hinduism for us to see. One was a puppet and he also brought a necklace with 109 beads and a Djembe drum. He got us all involved by smelling incense and playing the drum. He told us a story about Lord Sheba and then he got us to do a sacred mantra.
Year 5 Space Day!
We had lots of fun on Monday learning about space.
We played games to learn the order of the planets, shared our favourite space things from home, made space art using paint and fineliners, learned about the phases of the moon with oreo biscuits and played a race to the galaxy cooperative game.
Here's to lots more exciting learning about space!
