Spelling Challenge

 We have had another great week of learning in Year 5.

 In English, Year 5 have been researching and collecting information about bats, ready to write a non-chronological report. We all now know an awful lot about bats!

Our multiplication work has continued in Maths with a lot of tricky work involving factors of large numbers. Everyone has tried so hard with this.

During RE, we examined various artworks relating to the O Antiphons sung at Evensong during Advent. We also listened to some of the songs, including ‘O Come, O Come Emmanuel.’

Christmas activities have started in Year 5 this week with the creation of some special Christmas cards for display in Booths over the festive season.

The whole class also enjoyed a special session of handball on Monday with Dave. Year 5 clearly showed a lot of skill in this session and have also really improved their teamwork skills. Well done Year 5!

Finally, Year 5 went to parish mass at the end of week and spent time with Father Michael afterwards, discussing advent and what their wishes were for Christmas.
