Year 5 - Summer 2 - Week 5

Date: 5th Jul 2023 @ 8:04pm

Incredibly, we have just completed the penultimate full week of Year 5! What an amazing journey we have been on and, as always, this week has been packed full of learning highlights and achievements aplenty.

Our Maths work was a great source of entertainment as it was packed full of different games, quizzes and problem-solving tasks. The different activities included a ‘Capture the Flag’ game; a ‘Who Wants to be a Millionaire’ style game and a tennis themed problem-solving task to mark the start of Wimbledon. More of the same to follow next week! Great fun and, often, the children were practising Maths without really realising it.  

Our Reading lessons have involved exploring various songs and applying our retrieval and inference skills to the lyrics. Songs from this week have included the Greatest Showman, Oasis, Bastille and the ‘Friends’ theme tune.

The week concluded with an exciting Friday involving the school talent show. We were so proud of all children who auditioned in class, simply for having the courage to stand up and showcase their skills in front of others. Well done to each of them! Congratulations also to our two acts who performed beautifully in front of the school on Friday. Great entertainment all round!  

Friday also brought some time spent in Year 6, as the children were given the opportunity to visit their new classroom and spend some time with their new teacher from September, Mr King.

Following his final week with the class, we say goodbye to Mr Burke who has been part of our Year 5 team for the last term. We wish him all the very best on the next stage of his teaching journey and thank him for all of the hard work put into the learning and opportunities provided for our Year 5 class. Thank you and good luck!

As the final full week of Year 5 awaits, we aim to make it just as enjoyable as this week was. Until then, enjoy reading your child’s end of year report and have a great weekend!
