At the heart of everything is a personalised approach to each unique individual as part of our Christian Community. The strong family ethos ensures that all children and staff feel valued, respected and grow in self-confidence. Enthusiastic and caring staff with high expectations, demonstrate care of the whole child. Through God’s guidance we encourage each and every child to 

'let their light shine'

Welcome to Year 5 

I hope you have all had a wonderful break and are looking forward to the new half term.

Our scheduled PE days are Tuesday and Thursday. Please come to school dressed in PE kit on these days. We will be outside whenever possible, so please ensure you are dressed for the weather!

This year, Mr Robinson will teaching DT and Computing (on rotation) on a Thursday afternoon. We will also be joined by Mrs Dale and Mrs Kirkham who will be supporting Year 5 this term.

Our Topic for the Spring Term is 'Exploration and Discovery'.

This half term, we will be inspired by the book 'The Darkest Dark' by Chris Hadfield, which tells the story of a young boy who is afraid of the dark but dreams of becoming an astronaut. After watching the Apollo 11 moon landing, he learns that the dark can be exciting and beautiful, encouraging him to overcome his fears.

The topic web (which can be downloaded below) provides an overview of what we will be learning across the curriculum.

You will find all of the documents you need for completing your homework in the tab at the top of this page.

If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to ask. 

Kind Regards,

Miss Stokes

Our Class Charter

As a rights respecting school, one of the first activities completed in September is our Class Charter. The children choose a number of articles which they feel must be met at school. It is then discussed how the adults (duty bearers) and the pupils (rights holders) in school ensure that these rights are met. Have a look at our class charter below.
