We have been learning about St Pauls conversion to Christianity in RE. We acted out the Bible story when Paul meets Ananias (following his meeting with God). Paul is blind and Ananias heals him.
In English we have been working on characterisation using drama to help us imagine the characters we are writing about
PSHE - we have been learning about relationships and also how we view tests
Katla table led us in our Collective Worship this week reflecting on the 'Road to Emmaus' Bible story. They prepared a powerpoint and after listening to the story we had to guess which character was being acted from the story, e.g. Cleopas needed proof that Jesus was who He said He was.
Over the last week in RE we have been looking at the key stories when Jesus revealed Himself to the disciples following the Resurrection. We acted these out and discussed symbols in Art which show the disciples beliefs at the time.
Year 5 began Kwik Cricket today. We learnt how to bat correctly and began looking at throwing skills.
Year 5 have been visited by members of staff from Clifton High, who delivered an Eco Awareness course. We had the opportunity to look at a variety of natural artefacts, including 100 year old bird eggs. We then took part in some paintingto decorate wood and slate with natural pictures. We continued with measuring trees using a pencil and then finished by writing a poem about a tree.
In PSHE this week we began our topic: Relationships. We began the topic by discussing personal qualities of ourselves, we decided whether we had certain qualities using an invisible line and then drew these in a puzzle piece, which when joined together will create a Year 5 jigsaw of all our attributes.
Espresso coding - we learnt how to add conditions to our codes
In RE we read and acted out the main events following Jesus's resurrection: Road to Emmaus, Doubting Thomas, miracle of catching fish and Jesus's story of 'feed my sheep'.

Year 5 Retreat Day - We started learning about Jesus's temptations in the desert and we created a Lenten calendar of promises to help us be better Christians, following Jesus's example. We then made prayer journals and reflected on the importance of prayer in Lent. In the afternoon, we began with time for adoration and then we put our faith into action by making sandwiches to give to the homeless and we wrote them a little note to explain how we were thinking and praying for them.
