Welcome back! Once again, thank you for your continued support over the first half of the academic year. Last half term was absolutely brilliant! We could not be more impressed by the children’s continued attitudes of determination, perseverance and positivity. We were blown away with all of the homework that was brought in at the end of the last half term, especially the Viking shields, jewellery and the models of mythical beats. It was clear to see how much effort had gone into producing work of such creativity and of such a high standard. Well done Year 5 and keep up the great work!

The next half term is filled with opportunities and experiences centred around our topic ‘Should the next Space Ex mission be to Mars?’ stemming from our learning of Earth and Space in Science. Much of our work across the curriculum will relate to this. Please note a change to our PE day this half term. The children will now have their PE session on a Thursday afternoon, as well as their Swimming lesson on a Friday afternoon.
