Sports Day Well done to all of Year 5 for their great effort on sports day. They gave every event all they had and supported their classmates brilliantly. It was a great day and it was wonderful to see so many of you at the picnic. Thank you to Mr Lyons for going in […]
It has been a very busy week in Year 5! The main highlight had to be our Pilgrimage to Aylesford Priory. On arrival, we were given a tour by a Carmelite Friar where we saw beautiful chapels and peaceful surroundings. Fr Francis spoke about the history of the friary and pointed out a stone that […]
Year 5 were given an important task this week. Along with the rest of the school, they had to investigate a crime that had taken place at Pope Paul school. As I was a suspect, I was relying on the children to clear my name! They were taught how to take fingerprints and how to […]
In Year 5 this week, we have been learning about percentages in maths and looking at the illustrations of Shaun Tan in English. We also did some computing where we focused on reducing the number of commands to make an algorithm more efficient. A real highlight of the week was our Trip to Nicholas Breakspear […]
During the first week back, we have learnt how to calculate area. We began with recliner shapes and even managed to find a break in the rain on Tuesday afternoon to measure some of the playground. We were then able to calculate the area of places like the peace garden and the netball court. In […]
In our final week of the half term, we took part in Spirituality Week with the theme ‘Meeting Jesus’. With Year 6 away, Year 5 were asked to run the prayer stations on Tuesday. This was an important part of our week and I received many complements from staff about their behaviour. They led the […]
Another short week has flown by. On Thursday, we took part in our mapping and orienteering workshop. We managed to avoid the rain and had a great time learning how to use a compass and locating flags around our school grounds. I was really impressed with their teamwork and enthusiasm for the task. Today we […]
In English, we have continued to follow the adventures of Greek King, Odysseus. Earlier this week, we learnt about creating mood and atmosphere. Year 5 used figurative language to show how lost and ashamed the Cyclops felt after being defeated. I was particularly impressed y some of the personification used, such as the walls mocking […]
Alleluia! He is Risen! On returning to school, Year 5 celebrated the resurrection by taking part in an act of worship. The children were reverent and contemplated what change they will make in their lives, inspired by the resurrection. Later that morning, the children wrote beautiful poetry, using the repeated line ‘The stone was […]
Our Spring term came to a busy end. On Tuesday, our musicians entertained us with their singing, piano and violin playing. Well done to all of them for sharing their wonderful talents. It was lovely to welcome you all to our assembly to conclude our Mini Police training. I will pass on the photos as […]
