Year 5 at Little Heath

 Year 5, It has been a very busy week yet again. You have rehearsed and performed an amazing play – you all did brilliantly!! You have also considered the nets of different 3D shapes in maths and in English you wrote your own positive raps (performing them with great energy today). In art, you drew figures in proportion and then applied this to drawing a figure moving in some way. You also recapped the Easter story in RE, considering the importance of ‘The Last Supper’ and symbolism within it. You will have an extremely busy half term after Easter so I wish you an enjoyable and restful break before your return on Tuesday 18 th April. Best wishes, Mrs Cresswell
