WELCOME!
A very warm welcome to the F5 and F6 Class page, we hope you find the information useful and enjoy looking at our achievements so far this academic year.
In Form 5/6, we pride ourselves on our strong work ethic and our sky-high ambition. As the oldest in the school we are role models for the other children of Cleve House. Learning in our classroom is fun and focused, so that with laughter and teamwork, we can drive each other on to achieve our goals.
It’s an important year for our family, as some of us prepare for Entrance Exams to a selection of the best Independent Schools in the country.
This page maps our journey this year to prepare for our transition to Secondary Education, as we acquire the skills to serve us in later life.

Athena’s Cabin
by Merryn
As I walked towards Athena’s cabin, I saw an obsidian, opalite building that looked like a temple. Its gleaming opalite columns and topaz-studded roof made it seem like the cabin was a cave lined with glistening gemstones. Once I was within, I stared up at an elegant emerald ceiling with rings of turquoise and jasper embroidered into it. A statue of Athena stared down on me in the middle of the dazzlingly shiny, gemstone-adorned room. There were no spears to be seen, but there were bows and arrows along the walls.
I know Athena’s children are born to be very intelligent because their mother is the goddess of wisdom, yet this is even better than I expected! The children of Athena are clearly artistic and great actors, just like me. There are so many crystals! I walked restlessly out of the cabin, this was definitely my new home.

Science: Animals including Humans
A member of our class is an animal expert so we’ve decided to use his expertise during this topic. We can’t wait to post some pictures of our up and coming trip to Bristol Zoo Project where we get to be Animal Detectives!
History: Generation 2 Generation
We learned about the Holocaust through the oral history of family members and felt totally captivated.
Holocaust Memorial Day has this impact every year and provides our students with a moment to reflect upon this appalling aspect of humanity.
The talk was delivered with tact and expertise, our audience were a credit to the school.

The Angry Storm!
In in the great old storm the thunder goes bang, bang, bang!
It is like a tiger roaring.
It is as loud as a meteor banging on earth.
It is a colossal tornado.
The thunder is angry at the world.
Bang, bang, bang!
In the great old storm the wind goes whoosh, woosh, woosh!
It is like a screaming fox.
It is as cold as Antarctica.
It is as wild as a T-rex running.
The wind is singing a fierce song.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
In the great old storm the waves go crash, crash, crash!
They are as tall as the empire state building.
They are like lions fighting viciously.
They are sapphire fish moving the sea.
The waves are attacking sailors like a Kraken.
Crash, crash, crash!
