Today Year 5 have been exploring how Christians describe God by discussing the various titles and attributes associated with Him.

We thoroughly enjoyed playing against each other, competing to see whose card had the most powerful qualities.
Year 5 have been having a blast in PE, developing their netball skills through teamwork, coordination, and friendly competition! From passing to shooting, they’ve shown great progress and sportsmanship.

Year Five celebrated World Religion Day by learning all about Buddhism. We began by discussing the main beliefs of Buddhism, including the Four Noble Truths which Buddhists believe they should follow to achieve a state of Nirvana. We then read the story of Buddha and re-enacted this in small groups so that we could fully understand the origins of Buddhism.
Year 5 enjoyed an afternoon at forest school, planting various seeds and learning about plant reproduction. They can’t wait to watch their plants grow!
On Friday Year 5 explored animal lifecycles on the chrome books. Three have been looking at the stages of growth and development.
Year 5 started their new Sow, Grow and Farm topic in Geography today. Year 5 focused on the features of a successful allotment and presented an allotment redevelopment proposal to the class.
