 We have had another great learning week in Year 5.

 In English, Year 5 have been learning how to use skills, such as using relative clauses and metaphors in a coherent way. Everyone is enjoying reading about Jim and his adventures in Victorian London.

In Maths we have been busy practising lots of arithmetic and reasoning, as well as starting our new topic on place value.

This week in RE, we have all enjoyed trying to decipher the true meaning of The Lord’s Prayer. We created new scripts for the prayer, to break it down into modern language and we spent time thinking about why we call God a father.   

We practised using Google Earth maps in geography this week. Everyone worked in pairs to locate famous volcanoes around the world and label a world map with all their names. Well done Year 5!

In PSHE we have been talking about respect, as well as identifying our character traits and how we can strengthen them. The children made fabulous respect posters and we also practised our mindful breathing by completing a mini meditation.

 In computing, there has been some really amazing effort put into the Vikings powerpoint presentations with most of the class adding hyperlinks, 3 D shapes , importing pictures with special effects and using various animation and background effects. Super job Year 5!
