FRIDAY 3RD OCTOBER 2025
This week, the Year 5 Student Leaders along with all the other leaders in the school got to take part in a very special event, our annual Leadership Summit. The students gathered in the Secondary MPH for presentations by Ms Sinead, Mr Nicholas and other school leaders. All of our new Primary leaders were in attendance, and it was a proud day for all concerned.
In class this week, we have continued to work through the Theseus and the Minotaur story, picking apart the key components before the students come to write their own version of the story. The addition and subtraction unit finished on Thursday and we will start our first multiplication and division unit. In Humanities we are continuing to learn about the Ancient Greeks and in Science we have been doing some practical experiments linked to irreversible changes.
Next week, on Tuesday, we will have the Year 5 Swimming Gala. All students should come to school with their swimming kit under their PE kit to save changing time. Parents are welcome to come and cheer on the children at the pool. We aim to start around 10:30am.
We hope you all have a safe and relaxing weekend,
Mr Tommy and the Year 5 Team
