Hello Y5,

We hope that you have all had a good week - despite the stormy and rainy weather. 

The children at school are sending you a big wave to say hi!

It's a bit late but ... HAPPY NEW YEAR!

It has not been the start to the year that we hoped for but we are really proud of the way you have all adapted to doing things differently again. It has been really lovely to see you all this week, whether that has been in school or on Zoom.

It's been a busy and exciting week in the Y5EC & Y5W/R bubble! We had a fantastic time at our tapas tasting, and tried loads of delicious Spanish food. It was a great finale to this half term's Spain topic. We have also worked in our groups for our Dragons' Den project, to prepare and present a pitch…

In Y5NL this week, we have started a Dragons' Den writing project. We watched a pitch, by a lady called Kirsty, and had to decide what we liked about it. She had made a frozen dessert for people with allergies and she is now a millionaire. We are working in groups (from 1 up to 4) to design our own cool…

In Y5NL last week, we were thinking of alternative endings for The Highwayman poem. This week, we wrote our own final stanzas for the poem, using our best ideas. We had to use the same rhyming pattern as the original poem. We also used pencil and black pens to draw illustrations for our poems. The final…

In Year 5 BB, we have been working hard with our English topic of ‘The Highway Man’. The children performed the poem as a class and did really well pronouncing the tricky words! We have also enjoyed our music lessons with Mrs Risdale on Wednesday afternoons.We have been learning different techniques…

This week in Y5NL, we have been sharing our Spain research homework. In Y5NL we have been studying about Spain. First we looked at some amazing PowerPoints. Then we made a mini museum and looked at different and creative ideas of homework. Some of the ideas were food, famous architecture, bull fighting…

This week in Y5 NL we have been learning about the Highway Man. We read the poem then underlined all the word we didn't know. We had to find out the meanings. Then, we watched a short video to get the idea of the story. The film was a bit creepy but fun to watch. We were very excited to watch it. We…

Welcome back everyone in Y5! We are looking forward to busy and exciting half term. This week in Y5NL, we have been working on our class charter in our RRS sessions. Before half term, we worked in groups to choose the most important articles (from the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child). We put…

We have come to the end of our first half term in Y5 and what a fantastic half term it has been! We have worked hard and had a lot of fun at the same time. The Y5 teachers are all very impressed with how the children have settled in - well done everyone and have a great half term break! Last week Y5NL…
