An amazing start to our summer term!
Year 5 have began the new term with a bang of creativity!!!
India Day on Tuesday began our country topic with Diya painting and Indian dancing and tasting Indian spices and foods whilst the end of this week saw the children creating and sewing their Egyptian textiles for DT.
Reminders
Homework resumes this week – Homework is due on Thursday 5th May.
Book reviews are due on Thursday 12th May
No PE next week due to Bank Holiday Monday.
We have had a large number of children complaining of itchy, sore eyes, especially in the afternoons. They are now back on the field for lunchtime. If your child suffers from hayfever, please ensure they have been given an antihistamine before school as pollen levels will continue to rise. Thank you.
Enjoy the bank holiday weekend. See you Tuesday.

I am the way, the truth and the light
Because we will not be at school during Holy Week, we have watched 3 very powerful Passion plays enacted by children from Years 5 and 6. They have really made us think about what Jesus did for us.
We have also taken part in the Way of the Cross, reflecting at four of the stations. This prayer pilgrimage is a powerful way to grow closer to Jesus, knowing we walk beside him in faith and love. We ended our short pilgrimage with a penetential liturgy to say sorry for our wrong choices.
Have a peaceful and restful Easter,
The Year 5 Team
The prodigal son returns…
Something the children have really enjoyed this year is developing their own pupil-led worships from the weekly gospel. They have really enjoyed creating a prayer arch and ringing a bell to enter the class to gather for worship. This week, the parable of the prodigal son reminds us, as Christians, that each person is precious to God, who celebrates the return of one who is lost. The group this week chose to act out the parable as part of their worship. At the end of the worship, the children enjoy choosing a song to sing.
Reminders:
No PE next week for 5SC on Monday as they will be performing their passion play on Monday 4th April at 2pm.
No swimming for 5E next week as lessons have finished.
Both Homework and Reading journals to be handed in by Thursday 7th April.
Have a lovely weekend,
The Year 5 Team
