Wow, what a long and jam packed half term we’ve had!

We have completed two units of work in English, based on Carrie’s War and The Day The War Came; completed lots of concepts in maths (place value, addition, subtraction, methods, perimeter & converting measures) as well as diving into life during World War II. We’ve had whole school Mass, taken part in our Evacuation Day and been on residential to the Sustainability Centre.

As part of Black History Month, the children in Y5 were learning about Jesse Owens. While discovering facts about his life we have had several philosophical conversations about what society was like in 1936.

Wishing you a lovely half term with your family,

The Year 5 Team

Even though the weather was a little wetter towards the end, Year 5E still had an amazing time at the Sustainability Centre. Lots of activities, a lot of walking but many new things learnt, including about ourselves and others. 

What a fantastic evening it was – no rain or wind, just a fantastic sunset and thousands of stars to welcome us on the Downs. What a privilege it was to be in this place at this time.

We arrived back at school today very happy, a little tired and with a lot of muddy clothes! What a fantastic time was had by all!!!

A great deal was packed into three day this week and the children gained many new experiences which I’m sure they will share with you tonight and over this weekend.

As they say a picture says a thousand words!
