Y5 Art - Working on drawing skills

 

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.

Refugee Art

Year 5 for Peace Day created these striking and thought-provoking refugee art pictures in ICT.

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.

Start of the school year Mass

Monopoly

This afternoon, Year 5 enjoyed a game of Monopoly. As well as being great fun, the game provided lots of opportunities to improve our maths such as money and calculation skills. We also found the meaning of the vocabulary in the game such as auction, rent and tax.
