Happy half term everybody! I want to celebrate the amazing children for how fabulous they've been this week.
We had the BikeAbility coaches in this week, and the children have been so well behaved and patient. Those who weren't out cycling were in class doing some jobs and they've all been amazing. I am so proud! Some of us weren't confident at all at the start of the week, and by the end of the week they have smashed it. Absolute superstars!
As I told the children today, I hope you all have a fabulous half term break and come back ready and refreshed for our final half term in year 5! I can't believe it's already that time of year where we are thinking about the next class and the changes that come with it - it seems to have flown.
Have a fab rest,

What a fabulous week! We have been working super hard on our fractions, coming up with some great paragraphs for our action stories, and learning about the life cycle of a chick. The children have been amazing – and today was one of my favourite days of the year! The rainbow run is always such a fun day, and this year was no exception.
The children supported our Early Years children from the side lines, and then ran with the year 1 children to help them cross the finish line. It was amazing to hear them encouraging the other children, cheering them on and waving our flags. I am always so proud of how they come together to support others.
Next week sees our class undertake the well anticipated BikeAbility course – I know they’ll make us at school and you at home so proud!
Have a great weekend,
Miss McKean and Miss O’Hara

We have had another super busy week in Year 5! We had a visit to the metrocentre for a careers workshop, which was fantastic. We learned all about what skills we need to have different jobs in the future and spoke to the manager of a popular fast food outlet about his job.
On Thursday, we celebrated VE day. We organised a street party, thinking about rations and what resources we could easily access. We decorated biscuits and learned about what life was like 80 years ago.
My personal favourite experience this week was the cookery workshop with Emma from Tiny Tasters. As part of our DT food tech unit, we have been looking at making a healthy bolognaise. Emma made a veggie bolognaise with us, and it smelled so delicious in the corridor all day! I hope you really enjoyed trying their amazing cookery! They used graters, knives and hobs to create their recipe, which many people had never used before. The children were so responsible and did amazingly!
Have a great weekend,

What a fabulous week we have had! The children have come back into their final term in year 5 brilliantly and have worked really hard. On Wednesday, we were treated to one of my personal favourite activities – the music workshop! We looked at different musical features and some famous songs they are used in. It was a fabulous morning as always!
In music, we have begun to prepare for an event we are taking part in in July. We will be going to The Glasshouse for the Big Sing – which is all about space this year! We have started to learn some of the music for the event, and the children have been singing so beautifully. I absolutely love hearing them singing, and they are making me so proud! I will take some videos of us practising, so keep your eyes peeled!
Enjoy your long weekend, and we will see you on Tuesday,
