This week has been incredibly busy – a trip to Fort Nelson on Monday, which the children seemed to thoroughly enjoy despite the weather; Mass on Tuesday which was a lovely a reflection of prayer and time at Oaklands Chapel with the Chaplain on Thursday afternoon. This helped to reinforce some of the RE learning we have covered for the Prayers, saints and Feasts theme.
The children have also been developing their understanding of units of measure, area and perimeter in maths. They have been completing their audio commentary write ups for English before experiencing the trenches of WWI through drama.
For homework the children have another 6 spellings from the Year 5/6 list, Mymaths and need to complete another section from the homework pyramid. This homework is due by next Friday (2nd December). Children are more than welcome to bring their homework in early if they have completed it.
This week luke Wheatley (5E) received the golden leaf award for ‘using the gifts God gave him to support another member of the class during Mass’ and Onjoro Sumba (5E) has his writing displayed on the showstoppers wall. Oliver Groves (5F) received the golden leaf award for ‘using the gifts God gave him to develop his confidence and persevering with tasks’. Cerys Colley (5F) has her work on the showstoppers wall too.
Just to remind children that the weather is now frequently cold so they should be bringing a coat with them every day.
Have a wonderful weekend,
The Year 5 team
