The God who speaks through Creation..
Today is the start of our annual Spirituality week and the theme for this year is “The God who speaks.”
To begin our special week we are going to think and remember each other and look forward to when we can all see each other again in school.
We pray for each other today and remind ourselves that God loves us all and we are his unique creation.
God speaking through creation or the natural world means that when we look up at the stars or gaze at the bluebells, we see the fingerprints of God. The more we fix our eyes on the wonder of creation, the more we must conclude that these things could not make themselves.
Read by Liam, one of our Liturgy Leaders
Class Teachers to lead:
Remember your class friends today
“God loves you very much and you are his unique creation. Listen as you hear the names of all your class read out”.

Poem read by Oliwia, one of our Liturgy Leaders
By Sarah Bett Rhodes
God who made the earth,
The air, the sky, the sea
Who gave the light its birth,
Careth for me.
God who made the grass.
The flower, the fruit, the tree,
The day and night to pass.
Careth for me.
God who made the sun,
The moon, the star, is he
Who, when life’s clouds come on,
Careth for me.
Write a prayer entitled ‘God is Glorious’. Here is an example to help you.
God is glorious in the falling of the green oak leaf.
God is Glorious in the rainbow in the evening sky.
God is glorious in the blackbird singing in the spring air.

Good morning, Year 5.
Meaghan has been out leaf hunting. I was very impressed with her knowledge. See if you can find any of these near your home:
I’m sure you all noticed the error in the answer for maths question 2 yesterday. An update was put on the blog with the answer but I’m sure you all figured it out on your own anyway!

Step by step PowerPoint for maths: Subtracting mixed numbers
***************************************Update 13:00*****************************************************
Apologies- error on question 2 answer. Two and a half is 5 halves and therefore ten quarters. This would leave 5 quarters as your answer. This is one and a quarter. I am sure many of you have spotted it and written the correct calculation already.
Have a wonderful day

***************BLOG POST UPDATE 8:30 am**********************
I am unable to view the English questions document on my phone but works fine on my laptop. If you are working on a phone or tablet and have the same issue, I have added it below:
The fourth-floor window was wide open, and there, on the sill, stood a very young boy. Little Mouse laughed and reached his arms out towards the birds in the tree-tops and the clouds blowing across the sky, as if he longed to be flying with them.
Hanny, the nursery maid, saw all this. She also saw Uncle Scrope with one hand raised behind the small boy’s back, waiting. One strong hand, one quick push, and what then?
Hanny rushed forward. With a quick sweep of her arm, she gathered the child back into her apron and lifted him down to the floor.
Scrope blinked. The strange light in his pale eyes died away, as if some wild urge had been halted. He slipped his hand – the one that had been poised behind Mouse’s back – casually back into his own pocket.
‘Oh,’ Scrope drawled, ‘it’s you. The nursery maid.’ He stared at the gravel path far below. ‘Long way down, isn’t it?’
‘Yes, sir. It is,’ Hanny replied, trying to calm the fear in her heart. ‘I’ll take Mouse safely back to the nursery now, sir. I was surprised to find him gone.’
‘Good girl. Children do wander so, I hear.’ Scrope did not even look at Hanny. ‘And get someone to close this window properly. It seems to have become unlatched.’
By the time Hanny reached the nursery, she was shaking all over. She pointed towards the supper tray.
‘Eat, please, Mouse.’
The boy peeped up at Hanny out of the corner of his eye. He studied her round, pleasant face and her rosy cheeks. Then, smiling mischievously, he carefully picked up a triangle of buttered bread in his fingers and popped it in his mouth. Then he opened wide to show he was doing what she had asked.
‘Oh, Mouse!’ Hanny said sadly, while she smiled at the boy, at his soft tufty hair, his bright brown eyes and his slightly sticking-out ears. ‘Mouse, what am I going to do about you?’
Only when Mouse was safely in his cot did Hanny dare to think about what she had witnessed. A child like Mouse could fall down a flight of steep marble stairs, or topple from a balcony, or drop from a window so, so quickly. A child like Mouse could slip and trip and crash to his doom so, so easily. A man like Scrope would find it very, very useful if such an accident happened to happen.

Good morning, Year 5.
Jamie B, Patrycja, Heather, Jamie H and Heston have sent me their altars for Mary. What lovely places to sit and be prayerful. Heston also sent his prayer asking for her support just as she supported Jesus.
Alexis has been very busy with his History project. Well done, Alexis. I can see how much time and research has gone into this!
Matthias and Patrycja have been creative and made their VE day flag celebration art. Be sure to display it for Friday! They capture the spirit of VE day perfectly.
I had a lovely message from Mrs McNamara yesterday afternoon to say that a visitor had dropped by at school with a treat.I was very disappointed to have missed it and I heard it was delicious. Thank you, Emilia.
As tomorrow is a bank holiday, no learning will be uploaded. I hope you have a wonderful day celebrating 75 years since VE day. Remember the silence at 11am and I hope your artwork from Wednesday will be up in your window. If you are still up at 9pm, do take pat in the sing along of ‘We’ll meet again’. Be sure to send me pictures of the things you get up to.
Have a great weekend
