Monday 16th January 2023 Is Martin Luther King Junior day.

We talked as a class as to who he was and what he has achieved in his life.

We then reflected as to how we could be fair to one another and how there should be equality in the world.

'Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind'. Romans 12:2

'Love your neighbour as yourself'. Matthew 22:37-39

January 11th
We explored our new vision and what it means to us.
We created pictures as to how we interpret it.

November 23rd is taken from the Corinthians 13:13

But now, faith, hope and love abide these three; but the most important one is love.

November 16th is taken from John 4:9

This is how God showed his love among us. He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him.’

Wednesday worship 16.11

This week's theme is taken from John 4:19 -

'We love, because God first loved us'

This week's Wednesday worship 7.12.22 is taken from Matthew 5;43-44.

You have heard that it was said. 'Love your neighbour and hate your enemy.' But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you.'

High Rid Outdoor and Adventurous trip.

On Thursday 29th September, we took a visit to High Rid where we had so much fun out on the water in canoes; playing games and having a good laugh. We also worked brilliantly as teams to devise our own raft and then try them out to see if we would sink or float. Let's say, we had some very wet year five children whose raft didn't survive.

Have a look at the pictures from our fabulous day out...

Our theme for this half term is: You're Not Invited.

“You’re Not Invited” is a thematic unit, based around invaders with a key focus on history. It begins by looking at the concept of invasion, before focusing especially on the Romans, learning about important Roman Figures and their reasons for invading other countries. Pupils will also learn about sources of evidence and their reliability.

Year 5 were asked to help 'cut' the grass ready for the Summer line markings as the the lawn mower was broken! Look at what a good job they did :)
