Year 5 is a really brilliant year - you will love it!
The term will get off to a flying start as we soar through The Solar System in our science lessons!
In geography, we will learn about what it’s like to live in the Alps. Then in history, we will learn about the Anglo-Saxons whose lives were very, very different to our own.
One of the most exciting events to look forward to is our one-night residential stay at CHET in October. When you are there, you will enjoy a mixture of outdoor and indoor activities including: obstacle course, problem solving and crafts. We can’t wait! It’s going to be non-stop fun!

What's something exciting your business offers? Say it here.
Year 5 children and their parents/carers braved the chilly damp weather on their Sports Day.
Year 5 have made set designs for an upcoming WW2 film. Here are some photos of their finished products for air-raid shelters.
5B have designed and sewn their own 'bum bags' for their Design and Technology project.
Using Plaster of Paris, the children mimicked the fossilisation process.
Year 5's design brief was 'Fashion through time'.
Jo Hodge from Digital Schoolhouse worked with each Year 5 class to teach them about repetition and count-controlled loops. They created repeating patterns on Scratch first, then wrote similar more complex codes in TurtleStitch to create patterns that were then sewn onto cloth.
