Year 5 – 08/11/24

/in /by

Welcome back to a new half term! Here’s a peek at some of this week’s learning:

In Art, we explored and experimented with mixed media, using the watercolour with wax resist technique.

In PE, we kicked off our new unit on Netball, focusing this week on the chest pass and shoulder pass.

We also had our first child-led Celebration of the Word, beautifully planned and led by Siofra, D’hani, Emily, Jamie, and Jack—well done!

Thank you to everyone who brought in photos of loved ones who have passed away. They have been added, along with your beautiful prayers and poems, to our November Remembrance display in preparation for Monday’s whole-school Remembrance Pilgrimage.
