We are Called to Serve This week, Year 5 were called upon to serve their school community in a variety of ways. On Tuesday, a selection of children attended the training centre at the Diocese of Westminster, to support Mrs Joyce and Mrs Heymoz. They showed teachers from around the diocese how we use music […]
It has been wonderful welcome the children back this week and hear about their half term breaks. This week was UK Parliament Week. The children built on their learning from last year about the structure of Parliament to understand General Elections. We discussed the upcoming election and why it is happening. The children will be […]
This week, Year 5 learnt all about Brazil. Thank you for some wonderful home learning. There were a range of ideas such as statues, posters, fact files and PowerPoints. We began our week by learning abut the climate zones of the world and where Brazil was located. This enabled us to understand why the rain […]
In English this week, we completed our biographies and have begun to edit them. I was really impressed by the quality of their writing. In maths, we have been looking at decimal numbers and understanding the link between fractions and decimals. In science, we have been thinking about the movement of the moon. Year 5 […]
We have continued our Joan Proctor learning this week and our biographies are beginning to take shape. On Tuesday, we visited London Zoo which gave us a real insight into Joan’s work to inform our writing. It was wonderful to see how she is still remembered there and to have the chance to visit the […]
This week, Year 5 began our new text ‘Joan Procter, Dragon Doctor’, along with the rest of the school. Our final outcome will be to write an autobiography about her. This week for home learning, I have asked the children to research her life so that they have the information they need for writing next […]
It has been a very busy week in Year 5! Firstly, I would like to congratulate the children on their performance in assembly this morning. They read beautifully and taught the school about St Vincent and his legacy. In history this week, we asked the key question ‘where did the Saxons settle and is […]
It has been another busy week in Year 5. A highlight was our visit from Harry from the Arsenal Training Academy. Each Wednesday, he will join us to teach us new skills in not only football but in communication and teamwork. Harry wasn’t our only visitor this week. We were also joined by representatives form […]
In English, we have begun our poetry unit. We thought about our vocabulary and it’s effect on the reader to create fearful landscapes and describe a prey’s escape from its predator. In maths, we have continued to build on our place value knowledge to understand numbers up to one million. We have used this knowledge […]
It has been wonderful to welcome the children back to school and hear about their exciting summers. We have been busy in our first few days, learning about the values in our mission prayer, understanding place value of large numbers, introducing ourselves to spreadsheets and finding out about the relative sizes and distances of planets. […]
