Year 5
Welcome to Year Five!
Year Five is a great place to learn! Everyone is encouraged to aim high. We always try to do our best and sometimes we even give that little bit extra!
The Year 5 Teaching Team
Mrs Parkinson and Mrs Byrom are the Class Teachers. Mrs Catley, Miss McBreen, Mrs Townley and Mr Kelly also assist in class at different times during the week.
Mrs Howley will teach French and Mr Bell will continue to teach music. This year we will be learning how to play the glockenspiel.
There is a great team spirit in Year Five.
We all work together and encourage each other to do our best.
Meet our Team Players!

OUTDOOR MATHS
In Year 5 we had great fun looking for angles in the school yard. We can identify them, name them and estimate the angles degrees.
Children in Need
The theme of this year's Children in Need was 'Superheroes'. In class we thought about the qualities of an ordinary hero and learned how important these people are in our everyday lives.

The theme of our assembly was creativity and change. We really enjoyed performing in front of such a brilliant audience. Our favourite part was our Workhouse Dance!

YEAR FIVE SUPER SCIENTISTS!!
Materials and their Properties
In Science this half term we are looking at materials and their properties. This week we have been making solutions and investigating solids that dissolve in liquids. We observed and recorded the changes that occurred when we mixed different combinations.
Balloon Challenge
This week in the Year 5 Science Lab we have been looking at chemical reactions. We learned how the chemical reaction that takes place when we combine Bicarbonate of Soda with Vinegar, creates a gas. The challenge was to use this gas to inflate our balloons. Take a look how we got on.
YEAR 5 SPRING TERM TOPIC WEB
Here is an overview of the topics we are studying in class this half term. If you have any photos or Greek artefacts that you would like to share with us, please feel to send them in.

YEAR 5 SUMMER 1 MEDIUM TERM PLAN
BIKEABILITY........
During Level 1 Bikeability training, the children will learn to control and master their bikes. The training takes place in an environment away from cars or traffic – usually in a playground.
During Level 2 Bikeability training, the children will get out on the roads! Level 2 gives them a real cycling experience so that they are able to deal with traffic on short journeys such as cycling to school.
