Spelling Challenge  

We have had a wonderful week in Year 5.

In English, we enjoyed reading The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe together. There were some super written summaries of the opening chapters by Year 5. It’s been an impressive start!

In Maths, we learnt about place value, including tenths, hundredths and thousandths . Everyone has been trying so hard with this.

We started our topic of Creation and Covenant in RE this week by learning about Moses and the burning bush. We talked about God calling to Moses and the task that he asked him to do.

In Art, the children enjoyed learning about typography and they created some of their own unique designs. Their natural creativity really shone through.

PE has been enjoyed by all with the whole class demonstrating great ball skills in netball. Despite the erratic weather, everyone
persevered which was great to see.

In Science, we started a new topic; forces. The children performed experiments with different objects to see if they dropped to the floor at the same rate. It was wonderful to see everyone so engaged in this task.
