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 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.

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 learnt the meaning of the vocabulary in the game such as auction, rent and tax.

Water Walk
Well done to everyone who undertook the water walk for charity. The water walk was part of our Year of Jubilee and another event to mark the centenary of St Joseph's Church.
The children walked laps carrying a bottle of water. To mark the church's centenary and to set a challenge, the children were aiming for 100 laps (as a class or group) of the field or playground.
All the money raised goes to our school charity the Emmaus (Clifton Diocese Schools) project. This event also brings an end to our charity work for this project. Please if possible make a donation to this charity event by handing in a donation with your child or there is an option to make a donation by School Gateway. If you select 'payments' from the account and then from the payments list choose: 'St Joseph's Uganda Charity'.
For more information on the charity see our school website https://www.st-josephs-pri.bristol.sch.uk/Clifton-Diocese-Schools-Project/
