"Advent is a journey towards Bethlehem. May we let ourselves be drawn by the light of God made man." Pope Francis

We’ve had another lovely week in Year 5 and I continue to be so proud of how hard the children continue to work. This week the children have thought carefully about how they are going to prepare themselves to meet Jesus this Christmas. They have made their advent promises and they have linked their promise to Jesus’ teachings. Please ask your child what they have promised to do this advent.

Our learning this week:

In English this week the children have begun planning their own adventure story for Mai-ling who has to defeat an ogre that is rampaging around the village of Yishan and they have been experimenting with language to build suspense and atmosphere.

In maths the children have used written methods to multiply and divide 3-digit and 4-digit numbers by 1-digit numbers. 

In RE the children have listened to the story of Abraham and Sarah, learnt about the Covenant God made with Abraham and have reflected on Abraham’s trust in God.

In Science this week the children have explored the effects of water resistance. They have discovered that objects with greater surface area move through water much slower than objects with a streamlined smaller surface area.

PSHE - During this week’s Bounce Forward lesson the children have continued to think about their strengths and have identified three of their key strengths and shared how these strengths make them more resilient.


Thank you to those of you who shared their resilient moves with us this week…

Today is Lancashire day and we were set the challenge of running the daily mile so we combined this with our resilient move of getting fresh and exercise…
