We have truly been Digital Ace’s this week. Our unit this half term is Vector Drawing and we have been using Google Drawings to create epic pieces of Art. We have learnt skills such as being able to order the images and how to differentiate between sending back one layer of multiple layers, cropping, using the predictive red lines to centre shapes, using short cuts to copy and paste, filling using black colours and gradients.
The children have loved celebrating the Kings coronation and spent the day doing different activities relating to it. This included Maths coronation code cracking, checkers, finishing the face artwork, watching short documentaries about the history of coronations and their significance and Blooket quizzes to have a competition to see how remembered the most – it got competitive!
The children in Year 5 have come together and thought about a cause they are passionate about and a way to raise awareness. After the success of last year’s Ukraine drive we are all very excited; the children are really stepping into their ACE Activist boots. We have decided that will we be raising money for Schools’ of Sanctuary and focusing on the life of refugees once they reached the safe shores of the UK. More information is to come.

Homework is set every Friday on Google Classroom, this consolidates the work in class and the maths videos pre-teach key mathematical concepts in preparation for the following week. Please do encourage your child to complete these tasks as it will really support their learning.
