Year 5

Welcome to Year Five!

We would like to take this opportunity to say hello and extend a warm welcome to the parents and children joining Year 5 this year.  We have lots of exciting events planned and hope your children will share these with you on a regular basis.  This year is a hugely important time in their school life.  Being in UKS2, the children have a responsibility to the younger pupils. They will experience new opportunities and challenges throughout the year, both inside and outside the classroom.  These will help them to develop and evolve both as learners and as the young adults they are blossoming into.

• Tuesday 7 November 2023 Year 5 are Wild Eco Builders In Year 5 this week, we took part in a second virtual workshop led by the Institute of Imagination. The theme this time was Wild Eco Builders where we looked at how the science of nature can inspire us to imagine creative solutions when designing architecture.
• Monday 6 November 2023 Remembering Shirley This week in year 5, to remember Shirley whose funeral was this week we created messages and memories about her. We placed these onto the memory tree in the school library. We thought of memories and kind words to place on the small hearts and decorated them with her favourite things; foxes and flowers. We took our time and had a quiet moment to remember her by the tree. Later in the playground at lunchtime we did a 1 minute silence in respect of her. The children shared very fond memories and not a dry eye was in sight.

• Friday 3 November 2023 Year 5 Class Assembly - the Holiday Show - November 2023 In Year 5, our topic last term was 'The Holiday Show' where we were learning about the physical Geography of the World. To begin with, we learned about weather patterns and the different biomes on Earth. After looking at different biomes around the World, we focused on London and in particular, its landmarks. During our learning, we were lucky enough to go into central London and take a boat along the River Thames passing by many recognisable landmarks. To conclude our learning , the children - as part of their homework- created London landmarks.
