Year 5 2025-2026 Blog

Awards this week were given for always putting in 100% effort to everything they do and for being an outstanding role model to others!  Our Termly Handwriting Award was presented for exceptional handwriting and Good to be Green awards were given to those who have followed our school rules of being Ready, Respectful and Safe.  Finally, Silver Certificates were awarded for achieving an amazing 200 Star Points in class!  Wonderful news - they are now going for Gold!  Well done everyone!  Mrs Blomeley

Year 5 LOVED their session with Freddie Fit today!  They started with a Quiz, about healthy eating and healthy bodies.  He tested their knowledge of body parts and different types of food and their benefits.  The children used brilliant teamwork to decide on their answers!  The physical session was so much fun!  It has been a tricky week for Year 5, having to vacate their classroom every day for Year 6 to do their SATs, but this fun packed workout made it all worthwhile.  A massive thank you to Freddie Fit from all of Year 5!  Mrs Blomeley

As well as baking, Year 5 enjoyed taking part in the Craft activities during our Anglo-Saxon Day on Monday!  They made some stunning pieces of jewellery and they surprised themselves with their new-found weaving skills!  Some children enjoyed weaving so much, they continued to do it at home!  Look out for our work in the Reception area, where the creations will be on display for all to see!   Mrs Blomeley

As part of their Anglo-Saxon activities, all of the Year 5 children spent time with Mrs Hallam this morning to bake Honey, Oat and Spices cakes, a recipe form the Anglo-Saxon days.  Later on, the class ate their cakes, whilst listening to riddles and stories, just like they would have done in a mead-hall back in the era.  Mrs Hallam praised all of the children for their culinary skills and their impeccable behaviour during their baking time.  Well done to everyone - we are very proud of you!  Mrs Blomeley and Mrs Hallam.
