Spelling Challenge  

We have had a wonderful week in Year 5.

In English, we wrote an opening chapter for a sequel to Varjak Paw. In addition, we all wrote about our own special place. This will be put on display for the rest of the school to see.   

In Maths, we continued adding and subtracting multiple fractions with different denominators. Everyone has been trying very hard with this.

We learnt about Islam in RE this week. We found out lots of information about Islam and then created a factual poster which explained some of the beliefs and customs.

In Music, we practised singing the songs for Bugsy Malone. The lyrics to the song can be found on last week’s blog.

Finally, we all enjoyed visiting All Hallows for our taster day. We were all beautifully behaved and the staff were so impressed. We all took part in a PE lesson, explored the school, met Helen the chaplain and took part in some performing arts. We also loved our All Hallows school dinner!
