Welcome to Year 5. Come explore what we have been learning this term!
Week 8; 20th-24th October 2025
This week we have completed our addition and subtraction block, and it was brilliant to see every child improve their results on the assessment. We also finished typing up our stories, showing great creativity and effort. We took part in a moot competition, which was a fun and engaging experience. The highlight of the week was our reward afternoon, where we celebrated a fabulous half term with Domino’s pizza, a movie, and some popcorn. We also finished the half term by completing our 3D animals — a fantastic display of imagination and hands-on skill. What a fabulous half term it has been!
Week 7; 13th-17th October 2025
This week we have been busy and energetic in class! We thoroughly enjoyed the visit from Rock Kidz — their energy and enthusiasm were infectious and made for a memorable experience. In maths, we continued working on addition and subtraction, sharpening our skills and building confidence. We also began typing up our stories, bringing our creative ideas to life on the screen. In art, we started creating our 3D animals, and impressively, some pupils even managed to finish theirs in just one lesson. It’s been a fantastic week full of creativity, learning, and fun!
Week 6; 6th-10th October 2025
This week in science, we explored how animals adapt to their environments, diving into fascinating examples of survival and evolution. In yoga, we had fun playing a game that helped us stay active and mindful. We also began our new numeracy block, focusing on addition and subtraction, building on our core maths skills.
Week 5; 29th September - 3rd October 2025
This week, we finished designing our Christmas cards (yes, I did say Christmas!), and they’re looking fantastic. In numeracy, we completed our place value assessment, and everyone did AMAZING—such a proud moment! We also took a closer look at nouns, adjectives, verbs, and adverbs, building a strong foundation for our grammar skills.
Week 4; 22nd-26th September 2025
This week, we took our learning outside by collecting and recording evidence for geography, which made our exploration of the local environment even more engaging. In numeracy, we focused on rounding, sharpening our number sense and estimation skills. We also got creative in literacy by designing a book cover for our model text, bringing our story to life through art and imagination.
Week 3; 15th-19th September 2025
This week, we voted for our new school council representatives—congratulations to Teddy and Aalin! In literacy, we brought our story to life by acting it out, which was a fun and engaging way to deepen our understanding. We also enjoyed our second week of swimming and continued learning Manx, building confidence and skills in both areas.
Week 2; 8th-12th September 2025
This week marked our first full week back, and we’ve already accomplished a lot! In literacy, we learnt our model text, which helped set the foundation for our writing. In science, we explored the parts of a plant and flower, deepening our understanding of nature. In maths, we made a strong start with place value, building key number skills. We also faced a fun challenge in problem solving, where we had to create a 3D dolphin—testing both our creativity and teamwork.
Week 1; 3rd-5th September 2025
We have had a wonderful first week back at school! The children were excited to dive into our new topic, Under the Sea, and got creative making colourful posters to encourage everyone to help save sea animals. We also enjoyed a PE lesson out on the field in the sunshine, which was a great way to get active together. In
class, we have started practising our times tables and spellings, building up our skills for the year ahead. It has been a busy and brilliant start!
