Year 5 - Spring Term 2 - Why should the world's rainforests matter to all of us?

Welcome back to Spring Term 2 in Year 5 where our topic "Why should the world's rainforests matter to all of us?" continues, in our attempt to explore the impact of climate change.  This term we will focus on presenting an assembly to Key Stage 2,  to impart Year 5's new found knowledge about this growing problem.  We will explore Greta Thunberg's book about her own efforts to help the planet and we will continue to read the award winning novel "The Explorer" by Katherine Rundell.  The class will write their own adventure narratives about


Scientific Discussions in Year 5!

Year 5 had some intelligent and in depth discussions this week to look at the stages of child development in our Life Cycles topic in Science. For instance, at what age would a child start to recognise sounds in words?  Or when would they read a range of books independently?  They used their knowledge of themselves or their younger and older siblings to decide.  This is an example of Science Capital - what you know about scientific literacy and your related knowledge.  Brilliant work Year 5!  Mrs Blomeley


Year 5 get Creative!

Year 5's Creative Homework Presentations were amazing!  They all chose an endangered animal to research and then delivered their presentations in class!  They ranged from power points to hand made posters, with a Herules Beetle cake thrown into the mix!  Year 5's presenting and listening skills were so impressive and we all learnt so much!  Thank you and well done everyone!  Mrs Blomeley

Futsal competition

Some of our Year 5 and 6 girls took part in a futsal festival. It was many of the girls first time playing futsal and we learnt how it was different to playing football. We had lots of fun and were very excited to be the first ones to wear the new kit! We played games against Yew Tree, Manchester Road, Oasis, Greenside and Oakfield. A special well done to Evie who was the player of the festival for our school. Great job girls, well done!
