We have had another busy week in Y5. On Tuesday, we had our first year group assembly of the year - the first one since March 2020! It was great to all be together and to celebrate our stars of the week. 

We have really enjoyed our work in English in Y5N/C this week. We have been coming up…

We have had an amazing first full week back in Year 5 and have made a really great start to the year. 

In Y5NL, we have been inspired by the art work of Pablo Picasso to create some unusual self portraits. Mrs Loosley took photos of our faces - front and side view - and we used the idea of…

This week, Y5EC have been isolating and doing lessons over Zoom. Even though we couldn't be in school together, we have still had lots of fun.

On Monday, we did some investigating and estimated the capacity of containers that we found around the house, including a watering can, a Pokeball…

On Tuesday 8th June, Y5W/R and Y5EC received an incubator containing 7 colourful chicken eggs. Earlier this week, after exactly 28 days, 6 lucky chicks hatched and were placed into their cage at Thursday lunchtime.

In Y5NL this week, we have been looking at the character of Aleja, who is the main character in the book. She is…

After lots of work learning about the Great Sheffield Flood, this week we wrote our newspaper articles as if it has just happened. In Y5EC, we used the computers to type up our reports and make them look like real newspapers by using columns and justify - this is where the text is lined up on both…

River Walk.

On Thursday 27th of May, all the Year 5 children went on a river walk. We walked down Shore Lane and through a twisted path that looked like a meander. A meander is where a river goes round a curve. It picks up rocks and stones from one side and drops them on a little beach on…

This week, in Year 5, we have been learning about The Great Sheffield Flood of 1864. The Dale Dyke Dam broke at around midnight on the 11th March, allowing 3.14 billion litres of water to flood down into Sheffield. 250 people were killed. It was a terrible disaster for the city of Sheffield and was…
