2022-24 Year 5 Blog

 During RE day, the children looked at the concept of divinity within the Christian faith. First, they looked at stories where Jesus carried out miracles and then they focussed on a specific one found in Mark chapter 2 vs 1 - 12, This is the story about Jesus healing a paralysed man.  The children discussed why Christians believe Jesus performed miracles as well as understanding why divinity is important to Christians.  Finally, the children linked their learning to their own beliefs and thoughts. They had to answer the question, ‘If you could pray for a miracle, what would it be?’  One child said world peace which I thought was incredible insight for a child so young. 

Today, Year 5 learned about Black History month with the help of a visitor - Mrs Richards. We learned about the message of Black History month this year - actions not words. We talked about how it's important to talk about injustice but it's more important to stand up for what we believe in. Year 5 wrote and performed their own hard-hitting raps which gave advice to anyone who sees injustice - 'see something, say something, don't just watch.'
