Week beginning 8th September 2025
Year 5 blog
Welcome to Year 5! We have got so much to tell you about our first week and a half at school!
Firstly, we are now in charge of the garden area. Last Friday, we picked our beds and planned what we wanted to grow in them. This year, we are going to grow different things to last year and see what works well. The weather isn't helping us very much at the moment, but we hope to get out today and get some harvesting and weeding done!
In Art, we have been looking at Typography- which is how things are written. We got to look at lots of different fonts and had a go at drawing some ourselves.
In RE, we have been studying Moses and how he showed great faith in God. We have looked at the Burning bush and the 10 Commandments.
In Science, we are learning about the Solar system. Our Sticky Knowledge from that lesson is: The sun is in the centre of the Solar System. We remember that REALLY well!
In Maths, we have been learning about 5 digit numbers. We have been looking at the value of the digits, as well as reading and writing them in numerals and words. Numerals means numbers!
In PE, we have been looking at football skills. Again, the weather hasn't helped us very much but we hope we are going to get out today!
We are the class of FIRSTS this year, and we started off with a visit from The Peacemakers. This is a new PSHE scheme we are trialling in school and we are the FIRST class to try it out. We did circle time activities to discuss what Peace means and we played some games. We all really enjoyed it!
As you can see, we have been SUPER busy but we are REACH-ing in everything we do!
See you next week!
