Ryan and Tobi's book reviews

Fantastic First Week

In Literacy we have been doing recounts over books we read in the half-term.

Also Year 5 have been practicing their play of THIRILER. It is coming on good and we can't wait to show it to you and we hope you love it.

To add to that, P.E has been great fun with the running around and getting into teams and playing against each other. We have learnt teamwork from our lesssons in P.E.

We have been doing Chrisianity in R.E. connecting to that we chose a song about ' Jesus' and have started designing CD covers for our chosen song, which has been great.

As well as all that we have had a great week back and can't wait till next week!!!
