  • Year 5: Who is your little friend and what have you learnt about them already?

    Published 03/12/24

    The Year 5 children were delighted to meet their 'little friends' from the reception classes this week. They wrote lovely invitations to their friends inviting them to Christmas lunch. The Year 5 children are getting so much out of this special project in terms of some of our school values: responsibility, empathy and self-belief. We are looking forward to seeing these friendships develop further.

    Published 19/11/24

    This week the children have worked very hard completing assessment booklets in class. They also met their 'Little Friends' from Reception for the first time. This is a relationship we hope to nuture over the next year and into the Year 5 children's last year of Primary School. We were blown away by how kind, gentle and nurturing the children were whilst communicating and playing with the smaller children, and we look forward to watching the older children support the younger ones and these relationships go from strength to strength.

  • Year 5: What did you find out about Benjamin Zephaniah's life?

    Published 22/10/24

    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!
