Cushions
Look at the brilliant cushions we have made! We have worked very hard on our sewing skills. Well done Year 5!
World Book Day
We have had a lovely morning of 'book tasting' for World Book Day. We have gone around tables with lots of different books and thought about which ones we might like to read and recommended books to our friends. We also all look great dressed up!!

Year 5 Residential
Wow! What a brilliant couple of days we had at Borwick. It was a pleasure to take away such a fantastic group of children and we all had a brilliant time.
In two days we did:
- Archery
- Climbing wall
- Bouldering and indoor caving
- Lots of different team games
- Totem pole and 'leap of faith'
- Orienteering
- A night time walk
We also ate lots of yummy food and even squeezed in a quick conga before bedtime!

It was lovely to see the children's confidence growing over the two days and every child tried new things and challenged themselves on different activities. They were all so encouraging and complimentary towards each other and many children commented that they enjoyed working with children that they don't always work with in school. A fantastic experience for children and staff - now to catch up on the sleep!
A huge thank you to Mr A, Mrs Chip and Mrs Barnes for giving up their time to come with us and thank you Mrs Bennett and Mr Bowden for coming to see us!

Year 5 Residential Photos
A big welcome back to all the children in Year 5! It has been lovely to see you today and I am looking forward to a fantastic year! Here is some key information:
PE Kit will need to be worn on WEDNESDAYS.
We will be swimming on a FRIDAY.
English homework will be given out on a Monday and will need to be handed in by the following Monday.
Our first topic is space. The children are already really enthusiastic. If they have anything at home that they would like to bring in to share with the class about space that would be fantastic.
Mrs Waterhouse
Hi Y5
Maths homework - weekly homework is set on a Wednesday. Remember to ask if you need any extra help before you need to hand it in on the following Wednesday.
Times tables - Remember to keep learning your times tables. Focus on 1 or 2 each week.

During the last half term we have been learning about Space. We have written our own space stories, done paintings in the style of Peter Thorpe and written our own Moon poems. Take a look at the photos of our amazing pictures and have a read of some of our poems below.

Six Ways to Look at the Moon
Year 5 wrote some fabulous Moon Poems using metaphors and similes. Why not have a read of them!

Half Term
I just wanted to say a huge well done to everyone in Year 5 for their fantastic work this half term. The children have all worked so hard. The work on space has been excellent - we have written sci-fi stories, learned about the solar system and created some wonderful space art. It has been a pleasure to see all the children settle back into school so well.
Next half term our topic will be The Victorians and I will post some more information on here after half term about some of the work that we are doing.
After half term we will also be having a focus on reading for pleasure. I have asked the children to think about the books that they like reading and the authors that they enjoy so that we can share this after half term. If you have any pictures of your child reading or if they would like to send in any pictures of what they are enjoying reading that would be fantastic - please just email them to me.
I hope you all have a fantastic half term break and thank you for all of your support.
Mrs Waterhouse
