Here you will find all about recent activity in Year 5
The children have made it to the end of their first half-term in Year 5, and we are so proud of how well they have adjusted to Upper Key Stage 2. All the children really enjoyed their first Year 5 topic - The Vikings and we could see from their double-page spread assessments, they have retained so much information. We will spend time going over this knowledge all year so that it is firmly in their long-term memory. Happy Half Term everyone!
We are nearly at the half-term mark! It has been a long but productive first half-term in Year 5. We are sure the children are exhausted as they learnt so much. 1 week to go until their well deserved break.
Well done Year 5 - keep up the positive attitude and hard work.
We have been blown away by the wonderful stories written by the children this week. We can't wait for you to see them during parents' evening next week. Please make sure you book an appointment!
What a fantastic week in Year 5. The children loved experimenting with different materials to see which dissolved and were therefore soluble materials. They discovered that flour, rice and chalk were insoluble and didn't dissolve in hot water. Please see the Peek of the Week to see what is coming up in Year 5.
This week the children have been working so hard on writing descriptive sentences. They have been describing the setting and characters from our story with a particular focus on expanded noun phrases, relative clauses and ambitious word choice. We can't wait to hear their versions of the story in a few weeks.
We have had another really brilliant yet busy week in Year 5. The children really are back into the swing of school now and learning lots. We are so proud of how well they have adjusted to Upper Key Stage 2.
We kicked off the week with an amazing Viking day when the children, dressed as Vikings, made shields, trollkers, chanted around a campfire and made runestones from clay. It was busy but brilliant. Thanks to everyone who attended our Welcome to Year 5 session. It was lovely to meet you. We didn't have many parent questions after the meeting but please do not hestitate to contact us if you have any questions.
The Year 5 Welcome Meeting is straight after school on Tuesday 10th September in Indigo Class. We look forward to meeting you all. Here are the information slides.
What a wonderful first week we have had! The children have settled into Year 5 so beautifully. They have spent this week really getting to know their new classmates and teachers (and we have really enjoyed getting to know them) as well as the rules and routines. Next week, we will start our timetable properly, so please read the Peek into Next Week for more information about PE days, Forest School days, swimming etc. We will kick next week off with a WOW Viking Day. There is more information about this, as well as Dip and Do homework tasks for this week and important information about when it is due in too.
Please read important information about next week. There is also a summary of our year!
Year 5 loved looking at OS maps of different areas of the UK this week. They enjoyed looking at the legend to see what each symbol meant. Next week, they will create their own OS maps of our local area - The Hamptons.
