Exploration of visual literacy \u2013 05CORE1<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This term, Year 5 students have begun their exploration of visual literacy by studying the book The Island<\/em>. In 5Core1, students tapped into their creativity to predict the story based solely on the cover. Some analysed the colours used, envisioning the story as a tragedy, while others speculated that it might be set in ancient times when only black-and-white cameras existed. As the term progresses, students will continue to develop their skills in interpreting visuals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

English \u2013 5CORE3<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

During our English lessons, Year 5 has been focussing on figurative language and how we can use this to evoke emotion within our writing. Students explored a range of similes, metaphors and personification within their reading then had a go at writing their own. We even went outside and described our environment around us using these figurative language features. The students thoroughly enjoyed creating their own figurative language examples and sharing them with their peers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Religion \u2013 5CORE4<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

During our Religion lessons, Year 5 has been focusing on the concept of Holy Orders and its significance within the Church. Students explored the different levels of Holy Orders, including deacons, priests, and bishops, and discussed the responsibilities and commitments associated with each role. As part of their learning, the students created posters about the Sacrament of Holy Orders. These posters detailed what the sacrament entails and highlighted the roles of priests, deacons, and bishops. This hands-on activity allowed students to creatively express their understanding and share their insights with their peers.The students thoroughly enjoyed this project and showed great enthusiasm and curiosity throughout the lessons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
