A huge well done to all the pupils in Birch Class.
First of all for your wonderful behaviour and attitude to learning in our First Aid training on Monday. You listened, leanred and ,hopefully, retained some of that knowledge so you could help out a person in need. Joe Rice, who taught us, was really impressed with the children's focus and attitude in his sessions. Well done also for keeping on track and getting your learning done while Ms SImpson has been away from school these last two days. I loved working with you this morning and was very impressed with your persuasive letters - I could see how hard you had been working on those. The next well done is for your choral performance of Martin Luthor King's 'I Have a Dream' speech in our Celebration Assembly. I know that the parents and carers were impressed by your confidence voices and clearly heartfelt speech. It was a lovely way to end the half term. In class this morning we learned to sing 'The Old Lych Way', it would be just wonderful if some of you would join us for the 'Honouring our Ancestors' event on Tuesday 1st November. I will put the words of the song here and a link to a Youtube Video if you'd like to practice a bit at home in preparation. The Old Lych Way - Chris Hoban They'll lift me up and lay me down (Lay me down, gently down) Till I reach consecrated ground (Along the old Lych Way) On six strong shoulders I will sway (Lay me down, gently down) Till six feet under I'll be laid (Along the old Lych Way) Requiem aeternam (Requiem aeternam) Dona eis requiem Along the old Lych Way From Bellever to Lydford town (Lay me down, gently down) Through Sandy Ford & Conies Down (Along the old Lych Way) At every mile a marking stone (Lay me down, gently down) So they can rest their weary bones (Along the old Lych Way) Requiem aeternam (Requiem aeternam) Dona eis requiem Along the old Lych Way At Lydford church I'll make my end (Lay me down, gently down) And I'll never cross the Dart again Along the old Lych Way A Christian man could do no less (Lay me down, gently down) Than ask his friends this last request (Along the old Lych Way) Oh, Requiem aeternam (Requiem aeternam) Dona eis requiem Along the old Lych Way They'll lift me up and lay me down (Lay me down, gently down) Till I reach consecrated ground Along the old Lych Way Along the old Lych Way Along the old Lych Way The Old Lych Way - YouTube

What a busy couple of weeks we've had in Year 5! We've moved onto addition and subtraction in maths. We are working on our persuasive letters in English this week having learned about expanded noun phrases, types of clauses and modal verbs. In science, we have talked about and demonstrated several different methods of separating mixtures into pure substances. In history, we've now made it up to Henry VIII and next week we'll be looking at Elizabeth I before working on our final assessment. Most importantly though, we have had a very exciting week in RE. On Wednesday, we went up to the church in Chagford and Reverend Paul told us about God as holy and loving and how the way the church was built shows us that. The children also had the opportunity to draw and right about what they had learned about the church. Below, you'll see some pictures from our time there:
