We began this week with a thoughtful and peaceful prayer service. The children read their prayers and the scripture beautifully and they sang the hymns like a true choir. Year 5’s service was all about community, and the reading was from the first letter of St Paul to the Corinthians. It was wonderful to see the children think so carefully about their own prayers. We know that each person in a community is unique and perfectly made, with particular talents and qualities, yet cannot act alone.
We also took part in a very exciting History lesson in which they took a trip on a Tudor ship, sailing the seas! In History Year 5 are learning all about different explorers and why these people made these trips to new lands. In this lesson they learned what it would be like to live life on a Tudor boat- the food they ate, the illness they suffered from and the jobs they had to complete.
Another successful week here in Year 5, we can’t wait to see what next week brings!
