Summer Term message from Mrs Cropper: 

Welcome back Year 5,

We hope you all had a fantastic half term break and are feeling refreshed and ready for an exciting final few weeks of Year 5! This half term is going to be packed full of fun, learning, and memories to treasure. We’ve got some brilliant activities and trips planned, and we can’t wait to get started.
First up, we have our amazing trip to the circus. Get ready for a trip full of laughter. It’s going to be a brilliant experience and we know it will be a highlight of the term. Then there’s Sports Day! Time to dust off those running shoes and get ready to cheer each other on. Whether you're sprinting, jumping, or taking part in a team event, it’s always a day full of energy, teamwork, and lots of fun. We’re also heading to the Liverpool World Museum to explore the fascinating world of the Ancient Greeks. We’ll discover how they lived, what they believed, and what we’ve learned from their incredible civilisation. It’s a great chance to bring our history learning to life. And don’t forget our Transition Day into Year 6. This special day is all about helping you start to think about the exciting journey ahead. You’ll get to meet your teacher, explore your new classroom and begin preparing for your final year at primary school.

It’s going to be a fantastic end to Year 5 – full of learning, laughter and lots of opportunities to shine. Let’s make the most of every moment!

Mrs Cropper

This week year 5 were composing in ternary form using the pentatonic scale. We were using the same ternary form shape as Empress of the pagodas (Laideronette) by Maurice Ravel. Well done Year 5!


Bikeability
