Welcome to Dosbarth Collen 2021/22

We are a class of 28 amazing Year 5 and 6s. Mrs Sandford is our teacher. Miss Ayres supports our learning.

Our PE day is Friday Please wear your kit to school on that day.

Investigating organs.

So, what better way to start our science topic than to actually have a look at a real heart, liver and kidneys! We didn't realise that a liver weighed so much or that a heart was actually a muscle.

Our Victorian day. 

From getting caned, trilling and bowing  to our teachers. Reading from our primers and learning the 4Rs. Doing some tables drill and writing on slates and with ink pens. Today we have really discovered what it was like to be a Victorian school child. Would you have liked to go to school in Victorian times ?

Autumn term 2021 - Children of the Revolution 

Who were the Victorians? How have their ideas influenced and shaped society today?

We will explore these questions and more in this project about Queen Victoria, Victorian families and the movers and shakers of the Victorian era.

In this project, we are going to find out about:
• the historical importance of Queen Victoria
• daily life in Victorian times what was school like? What was life like for rich and poor children ?
