Iām delighted with the childrenās response to the reading challenge so far, weāve really got off to a great start! Each day this week, weāve had children coming in having read their book and have requested to move on to their next book. This is amazing Year 5, keep it up! Please continue to encourage your child to read their chosen book to enable them to enjoy our book club at the end of term.
Well done to those who have already completed some of the books!š¤©šš»

Our learning this weekā¦
In English we have begun to explore William Shakespeareās play A Midsummer Nightās Dream. This week we have begun to explore the different āworldsā of the play and have begun to look at some of the main characters.
In maths the children have been working on finding cube numbers and have been using the inverse operation to solve some problems.
In RE we read how Jesus described a true disciple, using Scripture from the Bible. The children then designed their own membership card for the āTrue disciple clubā with the required rules to follow. The children then looked again at the life of Saint Damien and had to find evidence to show that he qualified to be a true disciple of Christ.
This weekās prayer and liturgy was planned and led by Hayley Marie, Lilly C and Mia. Their liturgy was on the theme of The Transfiguration based on the reading from Mark 9: 2-10, which is a beautiful one to read and reflect on during Lent. In it we see Peter, James and John experience something incredible, which deepens their understanding of who Jesus really is. Their lives are changed and they experience a new beginning!
āThen a cloud appeared and covered them, and a voice came from the cloud: āThis is my Son, whom I love. Listen to him!ā Mark 7
In Science the children have compared the lifecycle of a reptile and a bird. The children have then looked at and labelled the parts of an unfertilised egg.
In geography the children are working with Mrs Mannix and have begun looking at their new topic on latitude and longitude.
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 rounders.
In computing the children have continued to explore using a micro-bit to execute code.
