Year 5- Spring 1- Week 5
Date: 5th Feb 2026 @ 9:00pm
What a busy and exciting week it has been in Year 5!
In English, we have been diving deeper into the world of Norse mythology. Inspired by Arthur and the Golden Rope, the children planned and wrote their very own Norse myths. Their stories were wonderfully imaginative and showed off everything they have learned this term—from powerful descriptions to adventurous plot twists. We can’t wait to publish them in our Author Books next week!
In Maths, Year 5 have been mastering two‑digit by three‑digit multiplication. Through games, challenges and reasoning activities, the children have built both fluency and confidence. Their determination and teamwork have been fantastic to see.
In RE, we explored British Values and discussed how the teachings of Jesus link to each one. The class shared thoughtful ideas and demonstrated excellent critical thinking throughout our discussions.
Thursday was an extra-special day as Mr Lightfoot led a whole‑day STEAM event. The children loved getting hands‑on with a variety of creative and technical challenges, including:
- Coding activities
- Designing wearable technology
- Engineering spaghetti-and-marshmallow structures
Their enthusiasm, problem‑solving and teamwork shone through in every activity.
This week also marks a big change, as Mr Lightfoot leaves Trinity St Peter’s for an exciting new teaching opportunity. Year 5—and the whole school—wish him every success in the future!
Well done for a brilliant week, Year 5!
Reminders for next week:
