PE Days
On Monday 22nd September, year 5 had a wonderful school trip to The Globe Theatre in London. On the way, we took in all the amazing sights as we walked over the Millenium Bridge. First, we had a tour of The Globe and learnt about the structure of the building. Fortunately, we were sitting up in the tiers – not with those ‘penny stinkers’! We even witnessed a set being built, ready for a performance of one of Shakespeare’s plays! Did you know that the lords would sit at the back of the theatre, looking at the back of the actors’ heads? Do you know why this is?
Following our tour, we then had an inspiring drama workshop where we re-enacted key parts of the play, ‘Macbeth’ to help build on our understanding of the story. Can you guess which scenes these are?
We definitely have some budding actors and actresses within our cohort!
September 2025
English
Welcome back to the start of a new school year! The children have settled in well to upper school and are working hard. They are already beginning to demonstrate good independence skills and determination. In English, they have been performing 'The Witches Spell' by William Shakespeare and writing their own spells based on the one in MacBeth.
Year 5 have been helping our EYFS children at lunchtime this term. The children have been serving them drinks, helping them to cut up their food and clearing their plates. What excellent role models they have been!
P..E Dance
In P.E this half-term, we have started our dance unit by being spies! First, we worked in pairs to compose a sequence which involved mirroring and side-by-side then we came together to perform a routine as a whole class.
Reading is a key part of learning and through a range of texts, we hope children become immersed and enjoy reading for pleasure.
Here is a list of recommended reads for Year 5 to help inspire and excite children.
