The 2015 Rugby World Cup has arrived!

Finally, after 4 years when it was last held here in New Zealand, the Rugby World Cup has just kicked off this weekend, this time in England.
There are 20 teams from countries all around the world in this very popular tournament.
Everyone in M5 has been randomly allocated a team to support.
Do you know anything about the country that your team comes from?
This week we are going to investigate our Rugby World Cup country.

Good luck to your team!

Congratulations Abi!

This term we learnt how to write a persuasive speech.
Everyone in the class chose their own topic to write about. We found it easiest to write about something that we were passionate about!
We learnt how to write an effective speech and what language features help to make a great speech - one that people will remember!
Congratulations Abi who represented M5 at the finals.
Abi presented his speech in front of a packed hall full of students and parents. 
His speech was about factory farming, and how it should be stopped. 
We are very proud of his effort!

Congratulations Abi on your fabulous speech about factory farming.
