Year 5 Blog 6.6.25

Date: 6th Jun 2025 @ 3:11pm

Well, that was a quick week, but we still managed to cram an awful lot of learning into the three days!

The children all returned ready for their final half term in Y5. That 5/6 of the year done – 83% of the year!

In English, we have been working hard to complete our build up writing on plastic pollution. The children have been thoroughly immersed in the topic and have now begun their ‘Big Write’ persuasive speech which they will be presenting to their peers next week.

In maths, we are now learning about units of measure and have looked at how to convert mm to cm, m to cm and vice versa.

In PE, 5W had their final dodgeball sessions and I have to commend them for their teamwork, honesty and respect that they have shown during this unit of work.

5H, completed their yoga sessions and have worked hard to master their poses and breathing techniques.

In our games lesson, we have begun our new unit – cricket. The children have been practising their throwing and catching skills and are learning how to play diamond cricket, which requires great team work.

Next week, we begin our orienteering lessons, so maps at the ready!

During RE we have continued to learn about how Muslims follow the 5 Pillars of Islam and focussed on Ramadan and Eid ul Fitr.

Finally, the children enjoyed learning about our little fury friends, the Red Squirrels during guided reading. We will be heading out to the Pinewoods in a couple of weeks as part of our visit to Church and hopefully will be able to spot one or two!

Enjoy your weekend and let’s hope the weather forecast isn’t accurate!!!
