Friday 20th June
This week has been full of excitement and learning in Year 5. The children showed fantastic team spirit and determination during Sports Day – they really enjoyed the day, even in the heat! In PE, we’ve been perfecting our throwing skills, and it’s been great to see everyone’s progress.
In English, we’ve been working hard on rehearsing our text map for our new unit, Dobber and the Ring. The children have enjoyed getting to know the story and are already showing great enthusiasm for the unit ahead.
In RE, we have started exploring the fascinating world of Hinduism. The class has been busy researching different Hindu gods and learning about their unique characteristics and stories.
Well done to everyone for a fantastic week – we’re proud of your hard work and positive attitudes!
Year 5 team.

It’s been another exciting and productive week in Year 5 as we dive back into the term with great energy and enthusiasm!
In Art, we’ve been exploring mosaic tile artwork, taking inspiration from the beauty of nature. The students are enjoying experimenting with patterns and colour to create their own stunning designs.
In Geography, we've launched our new topic: The Great Outdoors. The children are learning how to use compasses and are beginning to recognise and understand key map symbols—essential skills for budding explorers!
Meanwhile in PE, we’ve started an exciting unit on Athletics. Pupils are trying out a range of disciplines, including sprinting and various throwing sports, discovering their strengths and building teamwork and technique along the way.
As always, it’s been a busy and rewarding week for Year 5!
Friday 6th June
Welcome back! We hope you all had a restful and fun-filled half term. It's hard to believe we’re already in our final weeks of Year 5! As we head toward summer, there’s still so much to look forward to, and we’re excited for all the fun and learning still to come.
This week, we’ve hit the ground running and jumped straight back into our routines. In Maths, we’ve been exploring decimal numbers, learning how to compare, order and use them in everyday situations. The children have shown great focus and determination!
Our highlight of the week was definitely Science Investigation Day! The children became real scientists as they explored how different surfaces affect how high a ball bounces. It was hands-on, exciting, and full of discoveries. There was lots of great teamwork and some brilliant scientific thinking on show!
As always, thank you for your continued support. We’re looking forward to making these final weeks of Year 5 memorable, filled with learning, laughter, and plenty of summer sunshine! 🌞
Year 5 team.
