During these weeks, we like to do something slightly different in the afternoons. In year 5, we have looked at our school logo, explored the story of St Blaise, and produced a piece of artwork inspired by our logo, school values (Wisdom, Endurance and Friendship) and our vision , particularly 'Follow in the footsteps of Jesus' and 'Enjoy and achieve in life in all its fullness'.

We have also had our weekly philosophy lesson with Rob Torrington. This week we learnt how to have a debate, and how to give reasons for a particular argument, even if it represents a point of view with which we may not agree. This lesson, as always, was highly interesting and enjoyable, but also helped us with skills that will benefit us in life. 

Another lesson that was slightly off our main curriculum was our science, where we looked at the life and achievements of Guglielmo Marconi, particularly his pioneering work with radio and communications. He is of particular interest to us as much of his work was undertaken on the Isle of Wight! 

Although we have enjoyed this week, we now look forward to returning to our regular lessons as we keep up the hard work on the run-up to Easter.
