  • Which is your favourite Hindu God or Goddess and why?

    Published 14/10/22

    This week in Year 5, we have been planning our ‘cold write’, a piece of writing entirely unique to each and everyone writing! They just have a basic story structure to loosely follow, after that it is all down to their superb imaginations!

    We have been ploughing through with our mental maths certificates and badges too, getting almost back to where we were at the end of Year 4 – more badges and certificates to be won soon we are certain. We have also been focussing on rounding and estimating as well as lots of mental arithmetic practise.

    In History, we did an end of unit assessment where pupils created a double page poster of all they have learned over the half term, and these are looking really detailed! In PSHE, we have been discussing the meaning of different emotions and how best to deal with these during more challenging times in our lives. In RE, we have been selecting our favourite Hindu Gods or Goddesses and making fact files about them.

  • What is the moral message behind 'The Lighthouse'?

    Published 07/10/22

    This week in Year 5, we have been watching 'The Lighthouse'; a wonderfully heartwarming story about a lighthouse keeper who is isolated from his village. The children have been retelling the story, using the Story Mountain structure. In Maths, we have been revising column addition and applying this to bigger numbers. 

    In Art, we have now completed our Viking longship art work, using collage and paint. Have a look at the corridor display to see some fantastic examples! In History, we have started looking at The Battle of Hastings and in RE we have been learning about the different Gods and Goddesses in Hinduism. 

    A big thank you to Emilia and family, for organising a cake sale for Great Ormond Street Hospital. The cakes were delicious!
