This week in Year 5...

This week in Year 5, our children have shown fantastic resilience as they tackled inverse operations in Maths.

In English, they’ve been working hard to include relative clauses in their writing, and in RE, we’ve been exploring milestones and rites of passage, reflecting on the ones we would like to have in our own futures.

In Computing, we’ve been using our Safety Dragon to understand how search results are ranked and selected, as well as revisiting important reminders about staying safe online.

To celebrate World Space Week, the children joined Team Tim Online—an interactive science show with astronaut Tim Peake exploring life in space, from daily routines to spacewalks, inspiring young audiences through science, drama, and visual effects.

A huge shout-out to our Year 5 boys for their amazing teamwork and sportsmanship while representing our school at the recent tournament — we’re so proud of you! And to our girls — thank you for your patience and encouragement; your time to shine is coming soon!

We also want to celebrate everyone who took part in World Mental Health Day by wearing yellow — it was wonderful to see so much support around school. Finally, a heartfelt thank you to all families who have kindly donated to our Harvest Festival collection — your generosity makes a real difference.

Well done, Year 5 — what an inspiring week!
