Welcome to your Friday Blog.

Spelling Challenge
We have had a fantastic learning week in Year 5.
This week we have been learning about listening skills in PSHE. We explored how to show great listening.
We also talked about how we change and grow in RSE this week and the children learned about the emotional, physical and social changes we go through as we move from middle childhood stage to adolescence.
In English, Year 5 have been writing the missing chapter from Room 13, using adverbial phrases. They have also reviewed their work and used synonyms from a thesaurus to improve it.
In Maths we have started a new maths topic about multiplication and division and how to spot multiples of a number. A great start Year 5 – they tried so hard.
During RE, we discovered that King David is in a long line of descendants that leads to the birth of Jesus. We also spent time examining the Good News bible and discussing the old and new testament.
In computing we have started working in groups to create a video on the ipads, using various camera techniques and everyone has made a start on creating storyboards and scripts.
Finally, we finished the week with an art lesson where we continued to experiment with mixing acrylic paints to create large backgrounds of colour. Another wonderful week of learning!
