St Joseph's

This half term, we are EXTREMELY lucky to have a Cricket World Cup winning player to come and teach us cricket! The children absolutely loved the lesson and look forward to the rest of the term!

Year 5 enjoyed being Victorians for a day. They discovered Victorians toys, had a go at sketching with charcoals and, last but not least, experienced what it was to be a pupil in a Victorian classroom!

This half term, St Paul have been learning about Athletics! Today, they took part in relay races testing their running skills and how to pass over a baton.

Here are Year 5 being true maths champions again! They took part in a practical lesson to learn about multiplications with two digits.

This half term we have explored the concept of justice in RE. Here, Year 5 is enjoying doing freeze frame to show what justice and injustice are.

Please find below our newsletter for this half term which tells you what we will be covering until October half term.

Please do take look at what the favourite books are in our class and why don't you try reading some of my favourite 5's as well!

In the second week of term, each class in St Joseph's looked at a virtue. St Paul was really lucky to be given the value of compassion and used the wonderful book 'The boy at the back of the class' to support their understanding of virtues. As a class we designed canvas, inspired by Hannah Dunnett's paintings, and also wrote poems about compassion.

In RE, we learned more about our Class saint St Paul and looked at the seven gifts of the Holy Spirit during our chapter 'Called to Serve'. Here are the lovely class displays we did as a class!

These first weeks, the children have explored word classes and have now started to uplevel their work, choosing effective vocabulary!
