Year 5 Blog - 5/6/26

Date: 5th Jun 2026 @ 4:08pm

A short few days on our return but a whirlwind of learning.

In Maths, we have begun a short unit of Position and Direction, looking at graphs, axes, translation and co-ordinates. The children have done well with this, so far.

English sees the beginning of our writing on The Piano by Aidain Gibbons. This is a very emotional piece of writing which has already created some beautiful discussion throughout the classes. 

On Wednesday, we welcomed a group of volunteers who delivered a wonderful presentation on Formby Lifeboat station over the years as they celebrate 250 year anniversary. The children are going to be creating a series of Art which will take shape over the next 3 weeks.

P.E. has our new topic of Cricket. Unfortunately, the weather was rather rubbish on Wednesday, which reduced what we were able to do. Please send a prayer to the Mayan rain god to leave us alone on Wednesdays!

We hope you have a lovely weekend.

The Year 5 Team.
