Dear Parents,
Thank you for all your support with year 5’s Prayer Service, we are really proud of the children for performing well and sharing the message of ‘life in the risen Jesus’.
Miss Kelly commented on how independent the children were. Their singing was lovely and they shared the message clearly and articulately. We are really proud of them.
Next Friday is Jubilee Day, we are looking forward to inviting you into our classrooms. One of our activities is decorating t-shirt. If you would like to do this activity with your child, please bring in a plain t-shirt on the day. Another activity will be available for anyone who doesn’t have a t-shirt.
In Guided Reading, we continued with Diver’s Daughter: A Tudor Story. Looking at new vocabulary and using evidence in the text to explain our understanding.
In RE, we explored the story of Pentecost and how the Disciples felt. We also discussed what impact the Holy Spirit has on us today.
In English, we have written letters in the role of Anne Boleyn. We used lots of different persuasive techniques, such as, flattery and emotive language to try and persuade Henry that we (Anne Boleyn) are innocent.
