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 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.

Bible referencing

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

Cafod Assembly

This morning, we had a special Cafod assembly. We found out about all the amazing things Cafod does to help people around the world. This year our charity fundraising will be for Cafod.

Start of the school year Mass

 

This morning, we had Mass with our new parish priest - Father Jerome.

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.
