Year Five
Hello and welcome to Year 5
Autumn 2025
As part of our Science learning about Earth and space, we held the ‘Great Space Sleepover’. The children enjoyed listening to some space stories, going on a star walk, watching a space movie (with hot chocolate and popcorn!) and then snuggling down to sleep in the school hall! Although we were unlucky with cloudy skies, that didn’t dim the excitement of spotting constellations on the ipads!

We had great fun in PSHE, making up a group game using an object chosen at random. This helped us learn the importance of having, and following, rules and why it is important that they are clear to everybody. We enjoyed sharing our games with the rest of the class.

We enjoyed designing personality swirls; these have helped us get to know and understand each other.

Summer 2025
Year 5 have had a very busy final term with lots of fun, laughter and learning. We had a fantastic day at Chiltern Open Air Museum, where we took part in an Anglo-Saxon day. This really brought our history learning to life.

To mark mental health week, we made our own pocket monsters. If we are feeling worried, sad or scared, we can tell our monsters our worries and they will take them away!
In art, we have been learning about art from other cultures. Our work has included Aboriginal dot paintings, mehndi designs and Chinese blue willow pattern plates.

In June we shared our djembe drumming with the whole school, parents and carers in musical sharing assembly. We showed our new skills and knowledge and had great control of the rhythm.
 |
 |
We all thoroughly enjoyed taking part in our Year 5 and 6 production, ‘Rock Bottom’ and would like to thank our families and friends for coming to watch us!
Thank you for coming along to our open evening; we loved sharing our work from this year with you all!
