We have had a fantastic learning week in Year 5.

We all enjoyed our first Happy Minds session together, learning about our brains and the best way to make all the parts of it work together in harmony. We also practised our happy breathing!

In English we started our new novel – Room 13 by Robert Swindells. We have been learning how to build suspense and tension in writing. Well done Year 5 for your fabulous use of vocabulary, ellipsis and rhetorical questions!

We all very much enjoyed a surprise visit by the well known Liverpudlian poet – Levi Tafari. He inspired us all to write a poem about what makes us smile in life!

In Maths we have been practising our subtraction of large and small numbers (including decimals), using exchanging. There has been a lot of progress this week – a great effort by all.

We started a new topic in RE - Prophecy and Promise. We discovered who David was in the Bible, and what it was about David in particular that led God to choose to have him annointed as a king.

On Thursday, we all had a fantastic experience on our school trip to Rock and River in Mawdesley. Everyone really entered into the spirit of it and gave everything a try. Fantastic work Year 5! There are plenty of pictures of the day on the Year 5 gallery section of the website.

Finally, we finished our week with an outdoor art session, creating images inspired by nature.
