Welcome to Year 5

This term we go science mad by starting with the heart, how it beats and what affects its rate. Following this, we learn about the digestive system and the different properties of materials.

Our writing is based upon the epic tale of the Highwayman by Alfred Noyes.

We want to celebrate your achievements outside school by sharing them with everyone on a whole school display in the corridor by the library. When you win something or achieve in an event/sport/hobby, bring in a photocopy of your certificate or a photograph of yourself participating in the event or of the trophy/medal you have won. Please make sure you put your name on your contribution and a bit of information about your achievement. Please don’t send in trophies/medals or original certificates because we don’t want to risk losing them!
