Year 5 have examined multiple sources of evidence to understand the deeds that Suffragettes committed in order to get the vote! Deeds not words, was the Suffragette's motto. The children have also been exploring the similarities and differences between Suffragettes and Suffragists. Through examining further evidence the children were able to compare and contrast the two movements.
It was apparent the the Suffragists were peaceful protesters, who believed women should have the vote whereas the Suffragettes took more drastic actions in order for this same message to be heard.
We have began to look at the famous moment in history when Emily Wilding Davison ran in front of the King's Horse at the Epsom derby and the different reactions this extreme 'deed' created.
The children have also continued to persevere with the usually dreaded topic of 'FRACTIONS!!' this week and we are seeing great improvements in their; attitude to the topic, progress and their overall understanding of fractions, so we are very proud of them all!
