Alongside the set homework:
Please ensure that your child has a suitable reading book (there are plenty in school!) and reads on a daily basis (preferably to an adult).

Our Learning
Term 1
We started the school year by exploring our school mission statement. We thought about the qualities of St Joseph and how we can help others. We focused on our school charity: Clifton Diocese Schools Emmaus Project - Uganda.
Monopoly
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 found the meaning of the vocabulary in the game such as auction, rent and tax.
Monopoly
Bible Referencing
Year 5 have been working on Bible referencing.

Celebration of the Word with Father Thomas
Father Thomas joined Year 5 for Celebration of the Word. We explored the Gospel of Matthew 18 and found out about St Edith.
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.
Peace Day 24
We made paper boats to highlight their plight and had some reflection/prayer time.
Peace Day - Refugees 2024
In Geography, we looked at the location of wars since WW2. We quickly realised there were so many wars it would take too long to locate them all.
