Year 5 2025-2026 Blog

We have started World Book Day with a very cool assembly today. Year 6 shared a performance poem which could be read both ways called a palindrome. This had a strong message about refugees. Then Mrs Lewis shared her favourite story 'The wonky donkey' rapped by MC Grammar. We really enjoyed this so if you want to learn any more songs being sang by MC Grammar have a look on the internet. Then Miss Lewis shared a poem she has created all about our fabulous school.

Year 5 learnt about the history of the Haka dance, which originiated from Maori culture.  Traditionally, the Haka was performed to display tribal strength, unity and pride, and is often used as a welcoming ritual or to intimidate the opposing team in sport.  The children enjoyed learning the moves, and especially making the faces!  In future sessions, the class will invent their own versions of the Haka dance, when they pretend they are tribes from the Rainforest!   Mrs Blomeley

Awards this week were given for fantastic progress in Maths and for consistent hard work and exceptional manners!  Good to be Green awards were given for following our school rules of being Ready, Respectful and Safe!  Bronze certificates and badges were awarded to those who have work hard to achieve 100 star points!  Well done everyone!  Mrs Blomeley

Welcome back to Spring Term 2 in Year 5 where our topic about Rainforests and Climate Change will continue.  Our upcoming Assembly to the children in school will serve to spread our learning about this ongoing problem.  Children will also extend their geographical knowledge of the world when we explore different biomes.  As well as Rainforests, the children will learn about the features of Deserts, Tundra, Taiga, Aquatics and Grasslands!
