Our learning this week…
In English we have created mood palettes to describe different illustrations from the book, FArTHER, and the children have investigated the meaning of unfamiliar words from the story.
In maths the children have been interpreting and drawing line graphs.
In RE we have been making links between the commandments and our lives.
In HRSE the children learned to recognise that images in the media do not always reflect reality and can affect how people feel about themselves. They also learned thankfulness builds resilience against feelings of envy, inadequacy etc, and against pressure from peers or the media
In Science the children have recapped and demonstrated their learning on Forces and we have begun our new Science topic and have looked at labelling parts of a flowering plant and the process of pollination.
In PE the children are working with PE specialist Erin from Blackpool Football Club Community Trust. The focus of their lessons this half term is gymnastics.
In art the children have begun to make their sculptures, from the drawings they did last week (see their drawings below) inspired by Alberto Giacometti.
Our Year 5 prayer and liturgy this week was led by Olivia and Oscar. Their worship was on the theme of Being faithful and loyal.
“Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me.”
Matthew 24
Bedrock Competition!
Bedrock have launched a new prize draw competition for this half term with some fantastic prizes to win. You have all been entered into this competition and for a chance of winning, you just need to collect 20 points or more each week and earn 140 or more points in total using Bedrock by 18th February. If you go to the dashboard on your Bedrock account, you will find details of how you can collect points. Remember, you need to complete at least one Bedrock lesson for homework but to earn more points you can do more. However, please do not complete more than one lesson per day to ensure vocabulary retention. In addition to Bedrock’s competition, like last half term we will also have our own in class Bedrock competition too. The member of our class who has the most Bedrock points by the end of half term will win a prize at the end of this half term. Good luck Year 5!
Here is our TOP 5 on the scoreboard this week:
1 Layla 79 points
2 Hallie 70 points
3 Kurt 29 points
4 Oscar 27 points
5 Dominic 26 points
