Pupils and staff brought potted flowers to lay at the feet of Our Lady. We then processed around the school and crowned a statue of Our Lady with a garland of flowers.

SUMMER TERM LEARNING

Welcome back Y5! We can't quite believe that we are actually in our final term of this year, but before the Summer holidays, we have a jam-packed term of exciting learning opportunities, both in school and out!

Our theme this term is called Crime and Punishment through which we will learn about how crimes, policing, laws and punishments have changed since the Roman times, through 1066 and beyond. We will be visiting the Police Museum where you will be able to transport yourself back in time as you learn about two centuries of policing history!

Luckily, we also have the Queen's Jubilee celebrations to look forward to as well as Science Day and amazing opportunities to explore art with a real artist! With so many great things planned, you must ensure you are in school EVERYDAY, it would be a real shame to miss out!

Important documents with information about our learning for the Summer term are attached below.

Greetings Year 5!

We hope and pray that you have a wonderful Christmas break and look forward to welcoming you back in the new year. As you know, there will be a few changes, one of the main ones being that Ms Dineen and I (Mrs Kermalli) will be teaching 5A. I have enjoyed popping my head into my new class and actually can't wait to teach you in January.

Attached below is a letter from the Y5 staff, it includes details of the Christmas holiday homework tasks. Please note that each of the activities have been specially selected and hopefully will be an enjoyable way to pass your time, but also a way in which to prepare for your learning next term.

Have a good one! Take care! Be safe!

Hello Y5!

I am so pleased to hear that you have enjoyed your exploration tasks on levers, pulleys and gears. It is clear that we have some fantastic future engineers in this year group!

However, some of you were absent for these sessions (due to the dreaded Omicron) and some of you need more time to consolidate your understanding. Of course, we will review this work in class, but for now, I would like each of you to watch and follow this video from the Oak Academy. You will see and hear from a teacher who will explain each mechanism to you - please complete any tasks in your homework books.

Thank you for all of your hard work Y5!

Mrs Kermalli
