🐺 Was the Big Bad Wolf Actually the Victim?
Year 5 and 6 have concluded their unit on newspaper reports with a thought-provoking investigation into the story of The Three Little Pigs.
After watching the Literacy Shed version of the tale, pupils took on the role of investigative journalists. They gathered evidence, retrieved quotes from “witnesses,” and carefully considered both sides of the story before drafting their own balanced newspaper reports.
Was the wolf misunderstood? Were the pigs entirely innocent?
Take a read of the finished articles and decide for yourselves — what really happened between the three little pigs and the so-called Big Bad Wolf?

Daaniyah demonstrated outstanding leadership by volunteering to deliver a lesson to Year 5/6 about Ramadan.
She explained what Ramadan means to her, why she celebrates it, and the traditions she observes during the month.
Daaniyah shared:
“Ramadan is the most peaceful month for me and it makes me really happy and just feel better. I wanted to share this with my classmates to show them what Ramadan is.”
A wonderful example of pupil voice, confidence and respectful learning.

Year 5/6 have been reflecting on their learning and identifying personal strengths and areas for development through our ACTIVE skills framework.
Pupils considered which skills they feel confident in and which they would like to improve, before writing thoughtful reflections explaining their choices. A mature and purposeful approach to self-evaluation.
