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 […]
Mini Police was very exciting this week! Year 5 had the opportunity to go out onto Baker Street to ensure drivers were keeping to the speed limit. Using the police equipment, the children could see how fast cars were going. Any drivers travelling above 35mph were stopped and Year 5 reminded them about the importance of […]
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 […]
