Year 5 had an exciting week as we were joined by Mike form the Canal and Water Trust on Tuesday. Along with Year 6, we took part in an assembly where we learnt how to keep safe when near a canal. The children made excellent observations and asked fantastic questions. In the afternoon, Mike joined […]
Welcome back. It has been wonderful to see the children again and catch up with their holiday news. This week, we have focused on the three epiphanies of the lord. Using Fr Shaun’s newsletter as a starting point, we explored each of them through art and drama to explain what they tell us about Jesus […]
It has been a busy week filled with a variety of festive fun. On Tuesday, we went to the Jack and the Beanstalk pantomime with the rest of the school. Year 5 partnered up with Year 1 and they were excellent role models to the younger children. On Wednesday it was Christmas jumper day and […]
This week, the children sang and spoke beautifully at our KS2 advent service. They put a lot of effort into rehearsing and it paid off; they did a wonderful job. We were treated to two musical performances this week with a guitar concert on Wednesday and a piano,singing, cello and violin concert on Thursday. Well […]
Year 5 has turned incredibly frosty this week as the classroom has been transformed into the Antarctic. Well done to the children who created snowflakes, penguins and landscapes- they look amazing. This has helped us to imagine and explore the life of Ernest Shakleton. Through our research, we have discovered the amazing life he led […]
This week was national tree week and Year 5 braved the rain to go outside and learn more about the Hawthorne tree. The children discussed its features and then went on an information treasure hunt to find out facts about it. They showed great teamwork and enthusiasm on that cold and wet afternoon. Well done, […]
Our Weslandia learning came to an end this week with the writing of our newspaper reports. The children recounted the story well in a journalist style and used new grammar aspects. I have added the challenge of using dialogue in their spellings this week to practise the punctuation required. In maths we have focused on […]
This week we have taken part in two very important national events: UK Parliament Week and Anti bullying week. For UK Parliament Week, we used the resources sent by the Parliament Education service to understand the structure of Parliament. In class, Year 5 learnt about what a referendum is and set one up for the […]

Welcome back. I was wonderful to see the children back in school looking refreshed and ready for another half term of learning. In English, we have begun our learning on our new text ‘Weslandia’. Along with the rest of the school, we have been exploring the characters and locations. Year 5 made some interesting inferences […]
It has been a remarkably busy week to end a jam packed half term. With all we’ve done, it’s hard to believe it was only 8 weeks ago we started this new school year. This week we celebrated One World Week by learning about Brazil. The children brought in a range of impressive home learning […]
