‘How do you spell love?
You don't spell it...you feel it’
A.A. Milne
As we apporach our final week in school, lets celebrate our achievements and share a lttle bit of what we have been up to.
In RE we learnt about the Jewish religion. We discovered they believe in one God and they believe he created the world just like we do! Their special day is Saturdays/Sabboth this is a day of rest and worship.
Conversation Starter
Can you share the actions we learnt in class for: Kippah (the cap men and boys wear to show their respect to God), Torah (a special book which contains stories of the history of Jewish people) , Tallit (shawl wore by men when they are praying) and Synagogue (a place of worship) and discuss what they are?
What have we been learning this week……
PE: We played rounders against each other in our house teams, we certainly had some great goes at hitting the ball. Mr Nay and myself were so impressed with the sportmanship and support every child showed each other, it was lovely to see.
On Wednesday we walked to the library. Thank you to Ms Williamson, Mrs Price, and Ms Voghon for coming along with us. I read a story, the Gecko and the Echo which we all enjoyed. then we selected a few books to check out.
I’ve renewed lots of books please can you return the books over the summer holidays, thank you.
English: We finished our innovation of the Caveman Next Door, we thought of exciting ideas and wrote excellent sentences, we will mark and edit our work next week.
Music with Miss Lavelle: We practised then perfomed to Reception, it was amazing watch our video.
Sports Fest: we had a lovely afternoon to help raise money for children’s hospitals that are close to our hearts. Year 5 planned all the different activities thank you for all of your donations. When we last counted we raised over £2000! Some children helped me take lots of pictures too.
Maths: we are revisiting our number bonds to 10 and 20, these skills help us with our equations, keep practising at home and continue counting in 2s,5s and 10s these skills will help in Year 2. Little and often is best, there are lots of great maths games on top marks too.
Sign Language with Miss Liddell: We were very lucky that Miss Liddell could teach us some sign language, we learnt how to say my name is and sign our name. I’ve put the picture below so you can sign your names at home.
