Welcome to Year 5!

Highlight of the week 03/03/25: Year 5 were very lucky this week, as they went to Holy Trinity Church to take part in an event called: Life Exhibition. During their time there, they got to use iPads in little pods to find out more about the life of Jesus and how he is linked to Easter. They all had an amazing time!

      

Highlight of the week 10/02/25: Year 5 had a fantastic trip to the British Museum to find out about life in Ancient Greece. They saw lots of Greek statues, glasses, vases, pots and decorated plates. They looked at items women, men and children used including toys and they also found out about some of the Greek gods and learnt about some myths. It was a fabulous trip!

   

Highlight of the week 27/01/25: Y5 had great fun planning and carrying out an investigation that tested whether materials were electrical conductors, transparent, strong thermal conductors or magnetic. They all said that the best part of the lesson was putting together their electrical circuits!

Highlight of the week 13/01/25: For Year 5’s launch for their new topic on the Ancient Greeks, the children made a laurel wreath crown and worked together to build a Greek temple. Here is what they did.

        

Highlight of the week 9/12/24: During their recent Forest School session, Y5 made a Christmas Santa to decorate Santa's Grotto. They then made some outdoor Christmas shaped bird feeders.

      

Highlight of the week 25/11/24: For No Pens Day, Year 5 learnt to communicate in different ways. They used pasta to represent 'morse code' & used magnetic letters to spell out words and messages to their friends. Here are some of their words. Can you work out what they are saying?

      

Highlight of the week 11/11/24: For Anti-Bullying week, Y5 watched a video about respect and what bullying looks like in a school. They then wrote an acrostic poem for the word Respect. Here is a selection of their poems. We hope you enjoy!

Highlight of the week 07/10/24: For our D&T lesson this week, Y5 learnt to peel, grate, chop and slice different food items. To introduce their new English text and unit of work, Y5 had a tea tasting session (tasting fruit and decaf tea). Some enjoyed the experience more than others!

        

Highlight of the week 23/09/24: For our recent RHE lesson, Pine class had to work together to build the tallest tower they could with only 6 sheets of newspaper. This lesson really helped to develop their communication and cooperation skills.
