We had a great time at the KS2 Christmas Disco. We learnt a lot about the work of CAFOD, from Jane and Leo, and how the money we raised from the Santa Dash is helping people in need across the world. It was our turn to lead Picture News; the Picture Pioneers were amazing sharing how communities help vulnerable people keep warm in Winter.

We had a great time raising money for CAFOD on our Santa Dash.

As part of our 'To Know You More Clearly' work, Y5 have been learning about the Joyful Mysteries of the Rosary. To complete our learning on this, we worked in pairs to create dioramas of a Joyful Mystery of our choosing. A huge thank you to everyone who brought in materials from home.

This week, we displayed our music skills in a Xylophone Performance for parents and children in school.

We have been working very hard in Assessment Week. We are very proud of our Double Page Spread Assessments based on our topic 'Who lives in Antarctica?'

Y5 went on a Psalm search. We looked for examples of certain features, emotions and themes within Psalms that had been placed around our outdoor area. This gave us a better understanding of the Psalms and introduced us to some new vocabulary. When we returned to class, we wrote our own versions of a song/poem/prayer in the style of a Psalm.

We had a wonderful time at The Grosvenor Museum finding out about the Roman invasion and Roman legacies.

This week, we enjoyed sharing our Antarctica Research and matching the Physical features of Antarctica to their definitions.

We spent an active maths lesson revising our work on factors and multiples. We retrieved factors of a given number, combined numbers to make multiples and experimented with organising numbers within venn diagrams.

We loved combining our P.E. and maths skills on Number Day. We used our running skills to sprint between hoops and our maths skills to construct and solve sums using all four operations.
