We played ‘Musical Friendships’ as part of our work on being a good friend. When the music stopped we had to find a friend and do something kind. We had lots of hugs, fist bumps and high fives! It made us all feel really happy!
We linked our P4C lesson to the work we have been completing in our RVE lessons- green religion and also to the mantle commission we are working on this term, about COP30.
We have been learning about the deforestation that is happening in the Amazon rainforest in preparation for the COP30 summit in November. To better understand what is going on there we quickly organised a trip considering the modes of transport required and what would be needed with us. Beforehand we considered how different groups of people might be feelings about this and then completed some ‘hot seating’ in order to have some quotes ready for our news report. We then ‘travelled’ there by plane and boat and we drew what we could see whilst in the rainforest.
Year 5 have started forest school sessions with Miss Jones. We have enjoyed den building and creating bug hotels. We used the knives safely to sharpen sticks to use as tent pegs. We are looking forward to starting fires in our sessions soon.
In RVE, we have been talking about caring for our world and we have been busy planting sunflower seeds that we will work hard to take care of.
We believe that each person is valuable and unique. We drew an outline of a person are we thought of words that make people valuable and unique.
We listened to the song ‘You are a star’ and we discussed that music can sometimes cheer us up, especially if it shows that people care for us.
We created an extra verse to the song.
You’re too ugly, too trashy, too boring, too silly,
Everybody’s saying, everybody’s saying.
You’re too mean, too stupid, too fat, too rude.
Everybody’s saying, everybody’s saying.
But who do you listen to
Cause after all I’m telling you.
You’re star just the way you are.
Maesi “I always try to talk to people so that I understand why they are upset”
Josie “I will always help and listen”
Matty “If someone is angry they could play rock music”
Bluebell “if friends are arguing they need to solve their problems”
Corey “I will always take care of my friends if they are hurt”
We have been developing our vocabulary about the ‘weather’ in our Welsh language sessions. We have enjoyed learning lots of new songs and following instructions playing parachute games.
In RVE, we created a photo gallery showing things that we found interesting and beautiful. We zoomed in on some of the items so that we can see them in more detail.
We had the pleasure of having a Judo taster session from Team Wales. The children had a great time and enjoyed learning some Judo skills.
Today we were visited by Judo Team Wales. We had a short assembly with Jasmine then some of us had a short session. Pupils learned some rolls, holds and were shown how to throw…one lucky pupil was used to demonstrate! There were smiles all round… hwyl a sbri!
