What a beautiful week we’ve had! The sunshine has certainly put a smile on everyone’s face and has made us all feel quite positive.

The children enjoyed their own clothes day today. Thank you so much for all your contributions of chocolates and books for the Story telling fair, we appreciate your generosity.

Our learning this week…

In English the children have been writing their own diary entry from the point of view of Billy from the modern Greek myth ‘Bling!’. They’ve been working really hard on their writing and have tried really hard to include their writing targets. I’m so pleased with the efforts put in by everyone and I’m looking forward to reading them. Well done Year 5!👏🏻

In maths the children have continued to work on fractions, particularly finding fractions of quantities, and they have used what they have learnt to solve problems.

In RE the children have learnt about the ways that Jesus is present among us in follow up to their initial ideas last week.

Geography - We began our new topic on the local area this week. We have begun to think about what kind of place Blackpool is and where it is in the world using various maps.

Spanish - The focus has been on being able to say the date and saying when their birthday is.

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

In HRSE we have been exploring the theme of peculiar feelings. We have talked about how we cope when a situation causes us to feel a certain emotion and have thought about positive and negative reactions.
