Our learning this week…
In Tales Retold the children worked as a group to focus on building images of one of the resilient stories that was created the week before. We were delighted with how the children worked together this week. Well done Year 5!
In English we explored a model of a first person setting narrative and identified the features of the text.
In Maths the children extracted information from tables to solve a range of problems involving four operations.
In RE the children looked at the Beatitudes, which can be found in Matthew, and have discussed their meaning. The children were then challenged to think about how they have lived out the Beatitudes this week.
In History the children have been using sources of evidence to decide whether there is any truth in the myth Theseus and the Minotaur.
In computing the children have decomposed a program on the micro-bit to work out the algorithms. The children were then challenged to program the micro-bit to function like a scoreboard to record the results of a game of ‘Rock, paper, scissors’.
In art the children have applied modroc to their 3D sculptures.
Our fourth group of Year 5’s had their baking lesson with our school cook to build life skills as part of their resilience building. Great job! 😋

Bedrock Competition
Bedrock’s competition, which started on the 2nd January, will run till the 12th February. The children will need to complete their Bedrock lessons to earn 120 points, by this date, for a chance to win fantastic prizes. We will also continue our own in class competition. Please be reminded that children should only complete ONE Bedrock lesson a day at home. In order to ensure vocabulary retention, it is recommended that only one lesson a day should be completed.
Well done to all the children who are on our leader board this week.👏🏻

Next week…
On Thursday afternoon, we have our trip to Ascent to support the development of the children’s resilience and team building. If your child has Ascent socks already, please send the socks into school labelled with their name - this will allow us to keep the costs of our trip down. Thanks for your support.
Hope you all have a lovely weekend.
