Year 5- Spring 2- Week 2
Date: 5th Mar 2026 @ 4:25pm
Year 5 have continued to work incredibly hard this week, while also enjoying plenty of fun and exciting activities. We are so proud of the determination and positive attitudes shown throughout everything we have done.
This week, the children completed their Spelling, Grammar, and Reading assessments. They approached each task with resilience and focus, and it has been wonderful to see just how much progress they are making. Well done to all! Your effort is truly paying off!
In Maths, we learned all about percentages and what they mean as parts out of 100. We practised matching percentages with their equivalent fractions and decimals. We also started working with decimals up to the thousandths.
In RE, we explored the meaning of victory. The children shared thoughtful ideas about what it takes to be victorious and reflected on how these qualities link to our school and Christian values. Our discussions were insightful and showed great maturity.
In History, we began our new topic by creating a huge timeline of major historical events outside. The children recalled the difference between BC and AD brilliantly. We then began investigating the Ancient Greeks, exploring when their civilisation existed and why they are such an important part of world history. We are very excited to learn more about how they have influenced the world we live in today.
Thursday was a real highlight as we celebrated World Book Day! Year 5 created a stunning classroom display inspired by How to Live Forever by Colin Thompson. We also took part in a fantastic dance workshop, learning a routine to songs from Wicked. The room was full of smiles, energy, and laughter!
A huge congratulations to the TSP Swimming Gala team, who returned to school with an amazing collection of medals and a shield. We are incredibly proud of your achievements and brilliant team spirit!
To end the week, a group of children represented the school at the Athletics Tournament at Greenbank High School on Friday morning. They demonstrated superb sportsmanship and enthusiasm throughout, coming back with more gold medals and being crowned the overall winners! Well done to everyone involved!
