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

FRIDAY 19TH SEPTEMBER 2025
We have had a very busy three days in school this week, and the students have shown real resilience and adaptability coping with the shortened weeks.
In English, we have continued our writing about Theseus and the Minotaur and used some of this knowledge in Humanities when looking at other mythical creatures and creating our own. In Science, we have focussed on reversible changes are developing our knowledge and understanding of what these are. In Maths, we have finished our first unit on Place Value and moved onto Addition and Subtraction. Next week, we will have a short break from our curriculum on Monday to take part in the FOBISIA Codebreaking Competition in the classroom.
Those Year 5 students who put themselves forward for the various leadership roles found out if they were successful. A huge congratulations to those students who were voted into their new roles, but we are so proud of all the students who put themselves forward for one of the roles on offer.
On Tuesday afternoon, all the new student leaders will be having their pictures taken. Please ensure that they are in white school uniform for this.
Have a wonderful weekend and see you back in school on Monday,
Mr Tommy and the Year 5 Team

It has been a very full week in Year 5 and, as always, packed full of wonderful learning. The students are now well settled into their new classes and are showing how much they enjoy coming to school and learning in Year 5.
In English lessons this week we have started to focus on one story, 'Theseus and the Minotaur'. We have spent time breaking down the first part of the story, looking at setting and character description, using prepositions, the power of three and show don't tell.
In Maths we have been learning to order numbers up to one million and how to round numbers to the nearest ten, hundred, thousand and more.
The students have been creating fact files about the Olympian Gods in Humanities and learning about separating soluble materials from water.

FRIDAY 29TH AUGUST 2025
Week 2 is complete and what a busy week it has been! The students have been so full of enthusiasm all week and this is shown not only in their school work but their attitudes in and outside of the classroom.
In English we have started our unit on Greek Myths and have been reading about the creation of the earth according to the Ancient Greeks. The students have been enthralled and captivated by the myths and over the coming weeks we will delve more into these.
In Maths we have started off revising place value and extending the students' knowledge and understanding of this crucial topic.
Our Humanities topic is also about the Ancient Greeks. Students have shared what they already know about the Greeks and we have started to look at artefacts and what they can tell us about this ancient civilisation.
In the Upper Primary assembly this week, Miss Sinead spoke to the students about a number of leadership opportunities that are available to them. If your child is interested in applying for Student Council, a Sustainability Ambassador, Digital Leader or a Sports Leader role, please see these slides for more information.
Have a wonderful long weekend and we will see you back in school on Tuesday (for a short three days),

FRIDAY 22ND AUGUST 2025
A huge welcome back to all parents, whether you are new to ISP or a returning parent. It has been a busy and fun week at school. So much has happened to the school over the summer and there have been changes to our routines and procedures. The students have settled really well into their new classes and are adapting to the changes that are presented to them. We welcome Hikari, Karis, Zixuan, Han Xiang, Suenn, Kevin, Maira, Liz, Becky, Hayley and Riley and their families to to the ISP community.
This week, we have worked on a number of different activities to get to know our new students. We have focused on families, nationalities, passions and interests. We have learned so much about each other, and it has all been a great bonding exercise to get to know our new classmates and new students in the year group.
The students have loved the new shared classroom space outside the Year 5 classrooms, and as the term goes on, this space will develop and grow to meet the needs of our students.
Thank you to all the parents who were able to attend the online Parent Information Session on Wednesday. Please find here a copy of the slides.
