Week 5

Year Five have been hard at work over the last few weeks building our vocabulary, grammar and story-telling skills in order to write our own, independent Warning Tales. We've used various writing techniques from our Settings Toolkit to describe settings such as an old canal, a derelict factory and an old, rickety bridge. 

Week 4

Year 5 thoroughly enjoyed House Day, participating in a range of exciting team-building activities. Pupils worked together in their house teams, tackling fun challenges that encouraged collaboration, problem-solving, and communication. The afternoon was filled with energy, laughter, and house spirit, creating strong bonds and unforgettable memories for everyone involved.

Week 3:

This week, all of the children in Year 5 have experienced 'Forest School for All' and what a beautiful week it has been for the children to spend time in our amazing Forest School area! The sun has shone and great fun was had by all. Thank you to the Forest School team for providing this exciting opportunity.

Week 2:

Year 5 pupils have enjoyed starting their new Science topic about forces. During this unit, pupils perform various investigations to gain a greater understanding of about gravity, air resistance, water resistance, friction and various mechanisms. Here you can see them exploring gravity and air resistance by dropping differently sized balls from the same height and observing that they feel at the same rate.
