Year 5 2025-2026 Blog

Awards in Year 5 this week were given for fantastic work in Maths, by mastering the concept of finding common denominators in Fractions and for being an amazing helper and friend!  Good to be Green awards were presented for following our school rules of being Ready, Respectful and Safe!  Keep up the great work everyone!  Mrs Blomeley

As part of our current genre of Persuasive Writing, Year 5 took some time out to play "Think, Pair, Share", telling each other different rhetorical questions!  For those who don't know, rhetorical questions do not need an answer in response!  They will be using this feature of writing in their own persuasive letters soon and this activity will help with their ideas!  Well done Year 5!  Mrs Blomeley

Well done to our Reading Ambassadors who have all created a book review to display in out KS2 Library. They were asked to make a book review by Tameside Libraries to promote reading across the school. These will be shared on the Tameside Library social media accounts. 

Can you make a book review for our library? Tell us why you like the book, what it is about, who else will enjoy it and give it a star rating out of 5. 

Last half term, pupils in KS2 took part in a sports quiz against other primary schools in Tameside. They worked in teams of 4 and aimed to get as many points as possible. A team of pupils in Year 6 called Xmas Sports won first place with a score of 62 points - 2 points clear of the runners up. We also had a team from Year 3 finishing 10th with 43 points, another team from Year 6 finishing 12th with 40 points and a team called 'The Goats' finishing in 13th with 39 points. Well done to everyone who took part!
