Year 5 2025-2026 Blog

Our Year 5 and 6's showed great skill in the dodgeball competition tonight with our A team coming top of their group and progressing to the Tameside finals. Our B team showed great teamwork and really improved throughout their matches - they caught lots of people out and showed great dodging skills. Great job everyone!

Year 5 have been working so hard to tackle the tricky concept of Fractions lately!  It has been said that the only way to demonstrate you have mastered an idea is to be able to explain and teach it to someone else.  This week we have been lucky to have some 'extra' teachers in class!  They have chosen some of the trickier White Rose Maths questions and confidently explained how to arrive at the answers!  They were amazing and they all clearly helped others to understand some of the different aspects of Fractions!  Mrs Blomeley

Year 5 imagined they were characters from our class text "The Explorer" today!  They tasted a variety of fruits that they might have to eat if they were trapped in the Rainforest, left to their own devices!  Their overall favourite was pineapple, followed by Sharon fruit, which they described as "sweet as popcorcm".  Their least favourite fruit were the figs!  A big thank you to Mrs Hallam who helped to cut and slice the fruit for us all to share!  Mrs Blomeley

14 of our KS2 pupils braved the cold weather for the Tameside Cross Country Championships on Saturday. Everyone did the school proud and showed amazing perseverance throughout. A special well done to Courtney, Jacob, George and Dominic who were selected to represent Tameside in the Greater Manchester Cross Country Championships!
