5th November 2021
I hope you all had an enjoyable half-term break. It was lovely to ‘meet’ many of you this week through the online parent consultations. For those of you who were unable to book an appointment please contact me through the school office email.
The highlight of this week for year 5 was undoubtedly our class Mass on Wednesday, which Father Shaun and our seminarian Dale celebrated with us in our classroom. It was a beautiful service. Everyone in the class had worked really hard to prepare for it. Some children read, some children had a singing part. The theme of the mass was Remembrance, as it will be Remembrance Sunday very soon. Well done to the children for making it a very special occasion as Father Shaun commented about their reverence and their participation throughout.
In Maths we’ve been focussing on our fluency this week. We will be starting work on multiplication and division next week.
In Science this week we looked at how much a baby grows over its first year and what factors may influence this growth. In RE the children used their bibles to make links between scripture and the nature of God expressed in biblical metaphors.
In PE this week the children swam well, and this afternoon the children continued their topic on multi-skills focussing on hand coordination and teamwork.
Home Learning is set out below.
A gentle reminder that our hamper colour is purple. Many thanks to those who have contributed already to this.
Wishing you all a good weekend.
