Year 5

We deepened our knowledge of the Vikings at Tullie House as we saw real Viking artefacts such as swords, brooches, beads and knives. We examined them to see what we can learn about them. Six Viking burial sites were found right here in Cumwhitton, Cumbria. The remains are on display in Tullie…

Year 5 had a fantastic day at Tullie House in Carlisle. We handled artefacts and learnt about where Viking remains had been found near us, at Cumwhitton. We studied a real Viking sword and several other clues about Viking society. Finally we took part in a series of different activities which…

We all took part in a moment of silent prayer to reflect on the body and blood of our Lord Jesus Christ. With reverence and respect we thanked God for giving up his son so that we could receive forgiveness for our wrong doings. We prayed for our friends, family and loved ones. We prayed for the…

We all enjoyed our visit from Pudsey bear as we raised money by having a non-uniform day. We designed posters to encourage people to give donations to those who are less fortunate.

Year 5 celebrated 100 years since the end of World War 1 by showing their family all of their proud work. They displayed a mixture of art, poetry, writing and a huge mural in the hall. We have been so busy! It was nice to see the whole school decorated with poppies and lovely work from all…

Year 5 had a great time at the Beacon where we learned all about World War 1 and took part in a County initiative “A Brave New World”. We studied artefacts from the War, made poppies from plastic bottles and looked around the WW1 exhibition. After lunch we took a wet walk to the archives in town.…

Children and parents made huge efforts to create imaginative Halloween costumes. They all looked great! Following a day of Halloween activities, they enjoyed “Fright night” games, activities and a disco. A truly spooktacular day!

We really enjoyed our football and netball session with Mr Green.

Year 5 enjoyed practising their football skills with Mr Green. Ball control was amazing. Well done Year 5!

Riley, Oliver, Matty and Keelan planned their own prayer and liturgy for the rest of the class to enjoy. They based it on St. Francis as it was his feast day on the 4th of October. The word of God was from Genesis 1: 22-26 and a reflection was shared to make the children contemplate how they…

Year 5 have tried really hard to pray the Rosary each day and learnt about the Mysteries and how to use Rosary beads. They have also been saying the additional two prayers as requested by Pope Francis. We have really enjoyed this quiet time of reflection. 

Year 5 have been considering their call to holiness and the qualities that they should show in order to become closer to God. They studied Colossians 3: 12-17 and identified the qualities that we need to show in order to be holy people. They decided that they needed to be thoughtful of others,…
