I am looking for the skill of perserverance this half term. We are discussing it in assembly and we have shared the importance of this in our daily lives and for future employment.
Welcome back to our last Half Term in Year 5 - Summer Term 2. Our final topic is "What makes South America a continent of contrasts?” Reading the text “Trash” will highlight the plight of street children and provide a valid contrast to the developed countries of South America.
PE this term will be on Wednesdays (Athletics) with the Sports Coach, and Fridays (Tennis) so please ensure that both indoor and outdoor kits are in school.

After presentng their creations, we had some fun outside, makimg shield formations in groups! Our final task was to re-enact an exciting battle charge between two armies! I am pleased to say there were no injuries in the battle - we had great fun! Mrs Blomeley

Year 5 had a special visitor today! As part of Career’s Week, Lydia from Dream Big Sports came into class to explain how she had worked hard to get her current role within her very successful company. They provide sports coaching and training to young people around Manchester, including Holiday Camps! She talked about the different pathways that could lead into a job like hers, and discussed how having the right, positive attitude is just as important as gaining academic skills.
