“Working together to inspire and learn, guided by God’s love"
Welcome to Year 5
Black History Month
Year 5 were lucky enough to learn about two inspirational black people.
The first was the British Olympian, Derek Redmond, who inspired Year 5 to never give up in the 1994 Barcelona Olympics.
During our Science lesson for the topic 'Space', we investigated the life of Mae Jemieson and her contribution to Space travel. She was instrumental in the fight for equality for all black women as the first black female astronaut to travel to Space.
Anti-Bullying Week
Here is a sample of work that was undertaken for Anti Bullying Week. The children enjoyed discussing their opinions on what constitutes as bullying and how they can become proactive in preventing it from happening in our school and community.
Life Choices Collective Worship
The children thoroughly enjoyed producing their end of topic Collective Worship. They reflected on their learning that had taken place and the Scriptures that they had read.
IPADS
For Computing, the children have been learning about the power of the internet through the topic 'My Online Life.' We have explored our online reputation and how to maintain our personal safety.
Ancient Greek Number System
The children have enjoyed learning about the Ancient Greek Number System. They were able to draw similarities and differences from Roman Numerals too.
