This week the children were involved in Reception’s Welcome assembly. They accompanied their buddies to assembly and helped present their very special Our Lady medals. Some of our Year 5’s read a prayer based around our school wish for them to live life to the full. Year 5’s were so mature and it’s so lovely to see the wonderful friendships that they have developed. In addition to this, Year 5 made a good start in their lunch time play leader role on the KS1 playground during lunch time.

Our learning this week…

In English we have looked at how a story grows through three stages of development and have evaluated a model for their own writing. The children have planned their own writing with this in mind.

In our Tales Retold workshop the children continued to work on their characterisation.

In Maths the focus has been on numbers to one million and representing number in different ways.

In geography we’ve been learning about absolute location by reading the lines of latitude and longitude on maps. The children all did really well and were able to identify places on maps of Europe and the UK using lines of latitude and longitude.

In Spanish the children were introduced to the Spanish alphabet and learning the phonetic sounds of some of the letters.

In PE the children have continued to work on developing their leadership skills and have been working and adapting games that they can lead when playing with their buddies and KS1.

In art the children have continued to work on their enlarged sketches based on the work of Hundertwasser.
