Looking at wars since World War 2

For International Peace Day Year 5 have been looking at the location of wars since WW2. We quickly realised there were so many wars it would take too long to locate them all.

Peace Day - Refugees

For Peace Day Year 5 focused on refugees and the difficulties they face.  We made paper boats to highlight their plight and had some reflection/prayer time.

Peace day - refugees

Today for Peace Day Year 5 have been studying refugees.  We built refugee tents to highlight the number of refugees fleeing war and persecution. Refugees are forced to leave their homes behind and travel to a new country, often to set up home at a refugee camp with tents. 

Celebration of the Word with Father Thomas

Today, Father Thomas joined Year 5 for Celebration of the Word. We explored the Gospel of Matthew 18 and found out about St Edith (whose feast day we celebrate this week).

Bible referencing

 In RE, Year 5 have been working on Bible referencing.
