Spring Term message from Mrs Cropper:
Welcome Back to Spring Term in Year 5!
Happy New Year and welcome back to school! Year 5 already made a great start to Autumn term and it’s clear that this is going to be an amazing term of learning, fun and new experiences.
We have lots of exciting things to look forward to over the coming weeks. One highlight will be our Geography school trip to Lytham Hall (date to be confirmed). During the visit, the children will explore the beautiful grounds and collect information about what is grown there, helping to bring their geography learning to life.
We would also like to remind parents to book an appointment for Parents’ Evening. This is a really valuable opportunity for us to share updates on your child’s learning, progress and achievements.
Another special event this term will be our Easter Service, where Year 5 will have the opportunity to perform as a class. This is always a meaningful and memorable experience for the children and we’re really looking forward to preparing for it together.
Later in the term, we will also be taking part in Bikeability sessions, which is something many of the children are already excited about. These sessions help build confidence, independence and important road safety skills. Further information will be sent home as soon as it becomes available.
Thank you, as always, for your continued support. We are really looking forward to a busy, enjoyable and successful spring term with our fantastic Year 5 class!
If you need anything further, I am always at the door or you can email the office.
Best wishes,
Mrs Cropper

Seasonal Soup Making in Year 5
Posted: Mar 24, 2024 by: S Cropper (S.Cropper) on: Year 5 Blog
Sometimes things don't go according to plan... and that's exactly what happened when we tried to make a seasonal soup as part of our Design and Technology (DT) learning this week!
First, we gathered all the fresh produce - celery, onions and garlic. We were all excited to chop and cook, imagining the delicious aroma that would fill the classroom.
But here's the twist: the liquid stock got absorbed too quickly by the orzo! The soup turned out to be more like a stew. Oops!
However, we didn't let that dampen our spirits. We tasted the hearty concoction and it was still tasty! Even though it wasn't what we initially intended, we all learnt some valuable chopping and cooking skills and had fun doing it.
