Year 5
Welcome to Year 5!
Eye-mazing art work!
We created some fantastic art work using our drawing skills this week. We followed a step by step guide to help us draw an eye in detail. I'm sure you will agree that what the children have produced is absolutely brilliant!
I have also uploaded the step-by-step guide for you all, if you want to have a go at home.
Maths Board Games
Our maths lesson today was a bit different to our normal lessons...we played board games! All designed and created by the children as part of their Christmas homework! There were some brilliant ideas! The children worked really hard on them! We are going to keep them in school for the rest of the academic year to play during wet play/lunch.
Term 3
Hello 2026! We have now started a new year, we're back and ready to work as hard as ever!
We are going to be covering lots of different areas of learning over our Create term, so watch this space!
Christmas Activities
We have been busy in year 5! We have been doing some Christmas related English work; we have written instructions as The Grinch about how to steal Christmas, we have written letters to children in year 1 as Fr Christmas and we have also painted our own Christmas cards. As well as preparing for our whole school nativity!
Christmas Jumper Day
We all loved coming into school wearing our Christmas jumpers today!
St. Nicholas Day Service at Canterbury Cathedral
We were very excited to attend the St.Nicholas Day Service at Canterbury Cathedral on Sunday 7th December. All of the children sang their hearts out and represented the school wonderfully. We are so proud of them! We also invited to the Canterbury Cathedral Friendly sing on Monday 8th December. All who attended told us what a brilliant class of children we have! Well done Year 5!
Apple Pie!
Well....what a brilliant day we have had today! We have finally made apple pie! We spent part of the morning, preparing the pie by cutting the apples into chunks and rolling the pastry. We then mixed in sugar, cinnamon and flour. The mixture was poured into the pie base and put in the oven to bake for 50 minutes over lunch! The smell filled the whole school!
The fun part came in the afternoon...tasting our delicious dessert! Everyone tried a piece, well done! A very successful day, we all even got a shiny Headteacher award sticker from Mrs Brooker!
Christmas Display
We have had a busy start to Advent. We have been preparing for our whole school Nativity and our visit to Canterbury Cathedral for the St. Nicholas Day Service. As part of our preparation we have created our class display for the corridor. We've got lots more planned, so watch this space...
RE Celebration - Creation
Today (Monday 13th October 2025), we shared our RE learning with parents in our classroom. We acted out the story of The Fall, shared what we think we should do as Stewards of the earth, read some of our letters to Pope Leo telling him about what we want to do to help our common home, shared the Canticle of St. Francis, we looked at how we and others can use our gifts from God to help the earth and others, just as Michelangelo and St. Hildegard of Bigen have done. Finally we shared what we have learnt about St. Carlo Acutis. We ended by singing 'I give my hands'. Thank you to all the parents who came along.
Term 1 Class Assembly
We shared our learning so far in year 5 with the whole school and our parents at our first class assembly (Friday 10th October 20205). We shared learning from English, maths, RE, DT and geography. We enjoyed retelling the story of Creation through drama. Well done Year 5!
Rounding in maths
We have been putting our new rounding skills to good use by playing some rounding games in our maths lesson using dice. We are now all much more confident when rounding to the nearest 10, 100, 1000 and 10,000.
Meet the Teacher
Thank you to all those parents that were able to come to meet the teacher after school. I have uploaded the PowerPoint for those of you that were unable to make it. If anyone has any further questions please feel free to come and see me.
Welcome to Year 5!
Welcome to our Year 5 class page! On here I will be posting lots of information about what we have been doing in class, pictures of our work and our Star of the week.
We are really looking forward to spending the year ahead with the children and can't wait to get started!
If any of you ever have any questions, feel free to come and ask.
