On Friday 21st June, Cathedral School were lucky enough to welcome the Olympic gymnast Steve Frew to our school.
It was a wonderful opportunity and we took part in lots of different fitness exercises such as:
* Spotty Dog
* Leg Drives
* Star Jumps
* Press-ups
Steve Frew told us about how important it is to follow your dreams – no matter if they are big or small. What a great message to follow – thank you for coming to our school Steve!
Year 5 stars of the week: Sienna and Fiona
This week, Year 5 began writing our playscripts for our Myths and Legends unit. Working in groups, we have begun to create the first scenes to our plays which we look forward to performing in due course.
Furthermore, we have also started creating our comic book strips. Year 5 have really improved their drawing skills over this half term and I am so proud of the progress that they have made. Keep it up Superstars!
This week we have been fortunate to visit the Malborough where we took part in some additional fitness games. It was a lot of fun and everyone got involved.
We are already looking forward to our next session – thank Miss Fishwick for organising this.
Year 5 stars of the week: Albert and Caitlyn
This week, we have begun our topic ‘Mapping’.
Firstly, we looked at features on a map and discussed why certain symbols were used to represent them. Then we had a look at famous mountain ranges and located them in different countries using our atlases. This has really increased our understanding of the world.
We look forward to next week when we shall be learning about 16 point compasses!
Year 5 stars of the week: Teddy and Julia
Last half term, Year 5 visited the Imperial War Museum where we had a great time meeting Bernard and Ron.
Bernard was born in Dulwich and was evacuated during the Blitz when he was 12 years old. It was fascinating listening to his stories and experiences of what life was like for him during the war.
Ron joined HMS Belfast and sailed all the way to Korea to fight in the Korean War. Ron worked as a wireless operator and was very helpful in explaining how Morse code works. He still remembers it now and sometimes even translates adverts into Morse code!
Year 5, comment in the space below and explain what your favourite part of the trip was.
Year 5 stars of the week: Ruby Rose and Whitney
This week we have been celebrating poetry week in school.
We have had a lot of fun reading out different poems, writing our own poems and even learning a brand new poem.
Here are some pictures of our performances of ‘Gran – can you rap?’ by Jack Ousby.

Year 5 did a fantastic Collective Worship this morning – they should feel extremely proud of themselves for such a confident performance.
Please find the video of the recording below.
Well done Year 5

Year have been making some fantastic Supermarine Spitfire aeroplanes this week.
We began by making our structure using a water bottle and some tape.
Following that, we used mod rock to make it firm and secure.
Finally, we painted our Spitfires and added detail.
We look forward to visiting the Imperial War Museum later this week where we will have the opportunity to see a Spitfire in real life.
Comment in the space below and let us know what you think of our Spitfire success!

This has been another busy but exciting week for Year 5. We have been enjoying taking part in Bikability Level 1 and 2 which has allowed us to practise our cycling skills in order to stay safe. Thank you Miss Fishwick for organising such a fantastic experience – it has been a cycling success!
Also this week, Year 5 have produced some fascinating projects on either what their family did during World War 2 or what happened to certain areas, buildings or landmarks in London during the Blitz.
It has been so interesting to learn about the remarkable people that Year 5 have in their families. We look forward to hearing everyone present their projects later on this week.

This week Year 5 have been enjoying using the gym equipment in the hall. We practised travelling using different points of contact and came up with some really unusual ways of moving along. What a lot of talent there is to be found in Year 5!
