It has been a fantastic and reflective week in Year 5. In our liturgy this week, we have looked at the blessings Jesus told his disciples in the Sermon of the Mount, which were to be called the beatitudes. We discussed that a blessing is God’s offering of favour and protection towards someone as we reflected who in our lives deserves to be blessed. We have then looked into creating our own beatitudes in our RE lessons, along with recreating the story of the Good Samaritan through drama.
Thursday was certainly all things Science as we continued learning and experimenting with different forces, with us looking at air and water resistance. The children created their own parachutes and dropped these to show how the force of air resistance slows down the force of gravity. We then transferred our knowledge to the water and looked at how changing the shape, size and texture of an object will impact the level of water resistance.
