This week in Year 5...

It has been a wonderfully festive week in Year 5!

In Maths, we have been focusing on strengthening our times table knowledge and revisiting some of the key skills taught so far this year. The children have worked hard to build fluency and confidence, which will support all areas of their maths learning.

In Writing, we have completed our non-chronological report on Mary Jackson—an inspiring woman whose work played a vital role in helping to land people on the moon. The children should be very proud of their informative writing, which showcased clear organisation, formal language, and fascinating facts.

Alongside our learning, we have enjoyed a number of special festive events. We had an amazing trip to the pantomime Aladdin, which was thoroughly enjoyed by everyone and brought lots of laughter and Christmas cheer. We also performed in our Christmas carol concert, and it was lovely to welcome parents to watch the children sing so confidently.

On Thursday, we all enjoyed Christmas dinner day, which added to the excitement and festive atmosphere around school.

It has been a busy and joyful week, and the children have been fantastic throughout. Thank you for your continued support, and we wish you all a very happy Christmas!
