Music with Shropshire Music Service

This term we have enjoyed working with Mr Kicher from Shropshire Music Service! In class, we learned to use the PBuzz, exploring different notes and playing rhythms of various lengths.

We then put our new skills to work by playing along with modern music, including songs like Shotgun by George Ezra

. It was great fun combining technique with creativity and seeing how music comes together!

Year 5 – Remembrance Day

To mark Remembrance Day, we took part in thoughtful activities to help us understand the importance of remembering others.

We created Remembrance artwork using handprint poppies, symbolising respect, gratitude, and remembrance. In RE, we also wrote poems to reflect on what remembrance means and why it is important.

These activities helped us to pause, reflect

and show our respect in a meaningful and creative way.

Year 5 – Art Gallery

We really enjoyed creating our artwork based on famous landmarks. We explored a range of materials and techniques, including marble backgrounds, paint, watercolours and pastels to create our final pieces.

With the help of Mrs Davies, our artwork was then sent off to be professionally framed and displayed in the whole-school gallery. It was amazing to see our work displayed and to enjoy the process of working creatively and thinking like real artists.

We are very proud of the effort, creativity and care that went into every piece!

Year 5 Viking Day

We had an exciting visit from Shrewsbury Museum as part of our Viking Day! Throughout the day, we learned all about Viking life through a range of hands-on activities.

We explored real Viking artefacts, learned about Viking runes and discovered how archaeologists piece together artefacts from the past. We also had lots of fun dressing up as Vikings, trying some Viking weaving and playing traditional Viking games.

One of our favourite activities was creating our own Viking runes out of clay, which helped us understand how Vikings communicated using symbols.

It was a fantastic day full of learning, creativity and fun We all loved stepping back in time to experience life as a Viking!

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!!
