We’ve had another good week in Year 5. Yesterday we visited St Mary’s High school and the children took part in some lovely activities linked to both maths and science. They also got a tour of the school and the outside area, took part in a lovely meditation on the theme of community in their upper chapel and made their own rosary beads which they used to pray a decade of the rosary in the liturgy at the end of the day. The children really enjoyed their day and as always their behaviour made us extremely proud! Well done Year 5!

Our learning this week…

In English the children have been planning, developing and writing their own diary entry from the point of view of Billy from the modern Greek myth ‘Bling!’.

In maths the children have moved on to multiplying fractions and have really impressed me this week at how good they are. Well done Year 5!👏🏻

In RE the children have thought about whether Jesus is truly present among us. Initially the children had to think about their own response and then compare that to their friend’s ideas.

History - The children have learnt about the Maya hieroglyph writing system and have looked at some of the glyphs that the Maya used.

Spanish - The children have been recapping their numbers, days of the week and the months of the year.

In art the children have continued to work on their Chris Ofili inspired art work of Maya Gods .

In PE the children have worked in pairs navigating around courses following different maps - they’re really getting quite good at this!
