On the 28th of February 2012 Y5 went to a special session at selfridge's unique library where they learnt three amazing stories and a VERY catchy song. In this unique library there were many, many things to look at,(like ipads and typewriters), things to read (like books and posters) and stuff to have fun with in general!
On Thursday the 26th of January we went to a homeless shelter.
We went to help set up beds and tables for the homeless people.
When we got there we got our books out and started asking the questions that we had written at school.
Father Patrick and Damien answered them for us.
Then we got into 5 groups of 5 and some layed out beds and the others set up the tables.
The homeless people got a toothbrush, a warm cosy bed and delicous food.
When we were about to go, Daimien started playing the organ while we finished our questions and then got our coats on and left with a smile on our faces.
Written by Joey and Cameron.
Our weather is very interesting and so was our snow day!
Do you think it will snow in London during the Olympics?
We looked at many different African textiles during our CHAINS connector.
Each piece of material was unique, vibrant and very beautiful.
We enjoyed learning about secret codes and how these could be sent through different fabrics and sewing techniques.
Which of these fabrics do you like the most?
We enjoyed having our photos taken by a professional photographer.
We can't wait to see the finished results!

We have finished our solar system quilt. Lotte Collett, Elizabeth's mum, helped us to make our success.
We started by getting all the materials ready and then we chose our section to do. Then Lotte showed us how to sew, so we could make our brilliant quilt.
It took a couple of weeks, but with the help of 28 children and 2 adults + an amazing sewer, it was worth the time.
