We have put together a list of 6 super podcasts. You can listen on apple music, spotify or any other podcast service - for free!

We would like Year 5 to...

Listen to 'The Week Junior Show' (ages 8 - 14, parents and carers please have a listen too if you want to check content first). Listen to the most recent episode and the debate all about Shakespeare. What do you think? Write your arguments into a persuasive text. Challenge - can you prepare a persuasive text as a counter argument?!

Home Learning

Welcome to Year 5

Autumn Term

Mrs Whitfield and Miss Carwardine are looking forward to a super year, with some really exciting topics - we will be zooming through space in Science (including a fantastic trip to Jodrell Bank Discovery Centre), rocking our way through the Swinging Sixties, adventuring through North America and going back in time to the Ancient Greeks!

We hope the children will have a very enjoyable year and take full advantage of a variety of great learning experiences.

Jodrell Bank Discovery Centre

What an exciting trip we had to Jodrell Bank Discovery Centre in November! There was so much to see and do - hands-on exhibitions, outdoor activities, fantastic workshops and, of course the amazing Lovell Telescope! It was the perfect trip to enhance our Science topic of Space in the Autumn Term.

Our PE lessons in the Autumn term have involved balance and counterbalance. Here are just a couple of examples of the imaginative partner balances the children came up with.

Swinging Sixties Projects

We were totally wowed by the awesome ideas our children had for their 60's homework projects. So much variety and hard work went into making all the groovy models. Well done everyone - what cool dudes you all are! Peace and love! ☮

Years 5/6 Christmas Bowling Trip

Our Christmas treat in UKS2 was a trip to the bowling alley. Everyone had lots of fun and it turns out we also have some demon bowlers in Y5. As well as bowling, hot chips and Christmas music were also part of the outing - does it get any better than that?
