Spelling - Prefix Practice 

We have had a very exciting week in Year 5.

We have loved our English lessons this week where we have been discussing, planning and writing our own letters to the Prime Minister. We have some fantastic ideas of things we would like to change in this country. 

In art we started to learn about fashion design. We watched some videos of different fashion designers and identified their inspiration. We then came up with ideas for our own outfit that was something to do with the Euros - football kit, a dress in the colour of a country flag, tracksuit, etc. We painted some different backgrounds which we will use next week to create our designs. 

In maths we have started our new topic about geometry. We identified regalar and irregular shapes based on their sides and angles. You can practise this on this week's Sumdog challenge. 

In RE we discussed the Beatitudes. The Beatitudes help us to live our best lives. We made posters which included our own ideas for the Beatitudes. 

On Thursday we had an amazing day for Super Learning Day. We took part in lots of different exciting activities with different teachers around the school. We loved meditation and some of us even fell asleep. How relaxing. We also enjoyed learning about Hawaii and performing a Hawaiian dance and working up a sweat in our skipping challenges. We challenged ourselves to see who could make the highest towers using spaghetti and marshmallows. The Spanish fans we made helped us to cool down after a fun-filled busy day. 

We also had our Sports Day on Friday. It was wonderful to see everyone putting 100% effort in, encouraging each other and showing good sportsmanship.
