Year 5 DT Food Morning

To end summer term, children in year 5 had a morning of making traditional greek style dips and flatbreads with the purpose of ‘To make a dip for a greek cuisine’.

We started off by researching traditional greek dips and we used this to create our own combinations. After eating, we then wrote reviews about our dips.

This comes after a half term of learning about ‘Ancient Greece’ in history and learning about ‘culture and seasonality’ in Design and Technology.

Year 5 Space Centre Trip – 19.06.25

As a end of year treat, the year 5s went to space for the day!!

Over the year we have spent a lot of time across subjects learning about Space. In English, we read ‘The Darkest Dark’ and wrote biographies about astronaut Chris Hadfield. In Science, we studied the planets in our Solar System and looked into why we have day and night, seasons and the phases of the moon. In Art, we produced some Abstract space art with inspiration from artist Peter Thorpe.

Therefore, as an end of year trip, we feel it is only fitting we visit the National Space Centre!! Year 5s will be travelling to the National Space Centre, Leicester, on Thursday 19th June 2025 where we will have entrance to the Rocket Tower, all 6 interactive galleries and the Sir Patrick Moore Planetarium, including a presenter led show.

The children had a great time and behaviour was spot on!!

Year 5 with Hoola Nation!

We have been lucky enough to invite ‘Hoola Nation’ into our school for some fun PE workshops where the children have been taught, not only how to hoola, but also what other fun things can be done with a hoola hoop!! We now use hoola hoops at breaktimes/lunchtimes and for fun warm-ups in our PE lessons!

See photos of our year 5s taking part in the Spring Poetry Competition – some children wrote their own poems, whilst others performed ones from various poets.

All performers showed great courage to step on the stage and perform infront of peers and parents. Well done!

VE Day 2025!

Today children wrote a newspaper article either from 8th May, 1945 or 8th May 2025 reflecting on the importance of VE day and why it was so special and still is to this day.
