Year 5 Weekly Blog 08.05.26- 'The natural word is the greatest source of excitement, visual beauty and interlectual interest'- Sir David Attenborough

What a week it has been in Year 5! A shorter week in days but still feeling like a long week in activites. Learning has continued to flow with us finishing off our focus of apostles and the apostolic mission in RE, as we looked at the stature of the church and where hiarachy of the laity and apostles in our Catholic Church. On Thursday, we took a grip to the Grand, along with Year 6, to see ‘The Boy at the Back of the Class’. This is a powerful novel, based on a true story and current real life events, that the children will read in Year 6 next year. We ended our week in celebration of Sir David Attenborough. We came into school in our earth coloured clothes and we wrote biographies about our chosen icon. We finished this off by watching some of his classic documentaries from ‘Planet Earth’. Well done to chose children who entered the arts and crafts competition for this, your creations were beautiful!

Conversation starters

RE- If you wanted to become the next Pope, which 6 other roles within the Catholic Church would you have to have first? Can you remember the order of the stature of the Church?
