We’ve had a very exciting week in year 5. The highlight had to be our trip to the Houses of Parliament on Thursday. It was an amazing experience to visit the galleries of both the House of Lords and the House of Commons to watch the debates and questions. The excitement of the children showed […]
Another busy week has flown by in Year 5! On Wednesday, we began our Lenten journey as we went to mass at OLSV to receive our ashes. The children behaved reverently throughout and sang beautifully. Today, the children took part in our Lenten assembly where they placed their promise on the wall alongside the rest […]
It is Fairtrade fortnight and so Year 5 have been reminding themselves of its importance. They also evaluated how relevant its message of social justice is to us as Catholics by using evidence found in Scripture. Along with the rest of the school, we have begun our learning based on the book, ‘The Adventures of […]
Our final week has certainly been busy! On Monday, we took part in a drama workshop as part of computing week. Year 5 acted out scenarios about purchasing online content without realising. On Wednesday, we visited the Hinu Mandir in Neasdon. It was a beautiful and impressive building. Year 5 were respectful and enjoyed […]
Year 5 have continued to build on their understanding of the sacraments of healing this week.

In Year 5 this week, we were visited by Hertfordshire School Partnership to talk about keeping safe online. The children listened well and asked questions to help improve their understanding of internet safety. Year 5 were introduced to new concepts, such as having a digital footprint. I hope the session that was run for parents […]

Year 5 had an exciting week as we were joined by Mike form the Canal and Water Trust on Tuesday. Along with Year 6, we took part in an assembly where we learnt how to keep safe when near a canal. The children made excellent observations and asked fantastic questions. In the afternoon, Mike joined […]
Welcome back. It has been wonderful to see the children again and catch up with their holiday news. This week, we have focused on the three epiphanies of the lord. Using Fr Shaun’s newsletter as a starting point, we explored each of them through art and drama to explain what they tell us about Jesus […]
It has been a busy week filled with a variety of festive fun. On Tuesday, we went to the Jack and the Beanstalk pantomime with the rest of the school. Year 5 partnered up with Year 1 and they were excellent role models to the younger children. On Wednesday it was Christmas jumper day and […]
