Year 5 2025-2026 Blog

Year 5 enjoyed "breaking the rules" on Friday! They had gone to great lengths to look different in some way!  Own clothes, various hats, different coloured hair and a wonderful array of tattoos were all displayed!  I'm happy to say that no rules were broken within the classroom!  The children were perfectly behaved as always!  A massive thank you to all the parents who went to a lot of trouble to make this day so successful!  Mrs Blomeley

Broadbent Fold were lucky to have a visit today from Mad Science today to deliver us an interactive assembly on 'What you should know about H2O' where we learnt all about solids, liquids and gases and how water is the only thing that can change between all three. We also learnt how water gets from the sea to our tap through the water cycle. We had some fantastic volunteers who showed us how water is checked to make sure it is clean enough to drink and the role that engineers and scientists play in this.

Awards in Year 5 this week were given for always being a superstar with beautiful manners and a great attitude,  and for showing enthusiasm with a brilliant start to our new Science topic!  Good to be Green awards, as always, were given for following our school rules of being Ready, Respectful and Safe.  The whole class have made an excellent start to Year 5 this half term!  Well done everyone!  Mrs Blomeley

Welcome back to Summer Term 1, which is a short but busy term!    Our topic is “Who were the Anglo Saxons?” and we have many fun activities planned to explore how this ancient civilisation have influenced our lives today.  Year 5 will love our hands-on activities for Anglo Saxon Day. which wiill include baking in the style of that time, weaving with wool and jewellery making.  Other artistic opportunities include recreating the Bayeux Tapestry when they learn about the Battle of Hastings.
