Welcome back everyone.

I hope you all had a fantastic Easter break.

This half term, we will be learning about growing.  I have attached the medium term plan and a home learning grid for anyone wanting to do some additional home learning (this is entirely optional)

Reading day is Tuesday, please ensure books are in bags so they can be changed

Kind regards

Welcome back to Summer 1; we are now entering the final term of Year 5! This half term, we will be exploring our exciting history topic, “Who were the Anglo-Saxons?”. The children will learn about who the Anglo-Saxons were, where they came from, and how they lived, developing their understanding of early British history. As part of this topic, we will be visiting Rayner Stephens to cook some Anglo-Saxon recipes, and we will also be holding a special Anglo-Saxon Day to celebrate and bring our learning to life!

Year 5 had a super 1st session of forest school! They played games, built shelters and made hammocks. They can'T wait for the next session! 

Dear  Parents, CarersI do hope you have all had a fantastic Easter break. As you are aware, your Year 6 child's Key Stage 2 tests start on Monday, 11th May.  Over the next 19 school days, we will be gap-filling their knowledge and practising a lot in maths, reading, and SPaG to ensure they are fully prepared. Please continue to support your child with any revision. Alongside our new topic:  Skellig- Is it a bird or a Mythical Creature? We will be locating deserts, classifying living things, and using the story to inspire us in our narrative writing.  Important Dates and Information

Welcome back! I hope you all had a lovely Easter break! Our topic for Summer 1 is “Hot or Cold?”. We will be learning all about the North Pole, South Pole and the Equator, identifying where these are on a globe and comparing the key features of hot and cold places. We will also be going on an exciting trip to Imagine That, where the children will take part in lots of fun, hands-on activities. They will explore the art area to get creative, enjoy the water play zone, and investigate in the science area with experiments and discovery.

Well done to our Year 5 and 6 basketball teams who competed in a tournament against other schools in Tameside just before the holidays. Both teams showed fantastic awareness of themselves and their opposition and worked well to move the ball around the court. They persevered with their shooting skills and managed to successfully score points on many occasions by the end of the tournament. Well done everyone!
