Year 5 had a great time for Number Day today. We wore our own clothes and linked them to number; we put together Buddy's key from the NSPCC (which only took us 23 minutes and 34 seconds!); worked as a team to think mathematically (ask us about the sides of a dice - we got very frustrated about this, but figured it out eventually!); and investigated prime numbers before finding them on the field.
A fun, fantastic day was had by all.
Year 5 have been learning how to find specific scripture references; we also learnt about Doubting Thomas, acting out the scripture and thinking about the significance of it.
Year 5 have been learning to re-tell a story using actions to help us remember.
If your child won't show you the story, visit the "Videos" page of our website, https://st-edwards-sheerness.primarysite.media/media/year-5-st-theresa-story-re-tell , to watch a recording of us doing it.
Wow, what an amazing response we had!
To support us in making in our school beautiful, we asked for photographs of our children's sporting achievements and you didn't disappoint!
