September 2019.

Welcome back to the new school year! It is a great pleasure to receive such an already hard-working class of new pupils. I am very pleased to say that we have all settled back in to school life with purpose, positivity and pleasure (the 3 P's). Our new topic is "A Kingdom United" and the children are showing me already how interested they are in both the Geographical and Historical aspects of our nation. I look forward to seeing where their learning takes us and some child-led activities are expected to keep us busy over the next 8 weeks. If you need anything at all, please feel free to contact me via Dojo or make an appointment with me if you would prefer a face-to-face chat.

Here's to a fantastic year!

Year 5 had a fantastic trip to Blackpool Tower and the circus this week. The children had a fabulous time and they behaved impeccably all day.

RSC Stratford: Our wonderful Shakespeare Ambassadors from Year 5 were lucky enough to be invited to the home of Shakespeare - Stratford-upon-Avon. They had an amazing time and presented confidently to everybody there. They, yet again, have done us proud. They will present their work to the rest of Year 5 later this week.

Year 5's current Topic is "Amazing Amazon". The children are reading "Journey to the River Sea" and "The Vanishing Rainforest". The children are really keen to create their charcoal drawings of the trees and paint their camouflaged animals. They are currently swimming as part of their PE curriculum and the children are loving it! They are doing brilliantly. Watch out for letters coming home soon with details of our upcoming trips.

Happy Easter - wishing you peace and love. From the pupils and staff in Year 5.

Year 5 have been working for weeks now on their RSC performance of Romeo & Juliet. I’m sure you can all agree how fantastic they were and they kept it this way for both performances. Being on stage at The Grand Theatre was a pleasure and a privilege and the children did us proud.

Year 5 at The Wyre and Fylde Dance Festival - November 20th 2018

Year 5 took part in the Wyre and Fylde Dance Festival which had a theme of "Through the Decades". We chose the 70's and danced to a megamix of all the 70's classic disco tracks with a modern twist. Their dance incorporated popping and locking sequences alongside some classic disco moves such as the grapevine. It was so lovely to see the children having such a good time and doing something that is quite possible for some a once in a lifetime event - dancing on the stage at The Winter Gardens. A huge thank you to all staff involved, Brittany Jackson from Dancetc and to you, the parents, for your support in helping to make/supply the costumes, hair pieces, shoes and glitter! A huge well done to the children for their performance but actually for their composure, patience and conduct on what turned out to be a very long day with lots of waiting around! They were ALL amazing! We are very proud. Pictures to follow. Some videos and photos will also be shared on Class Dojo.

Autumn Term 2nd Half

Year 5 will be starting their brand new topic theme of "Food Glorious Food" where they will look at healthy foods and a balanced diet. They will also design and create menus for different events. They will look at the Eatwell Plate and how they can incorporate this approach in to their helthy lifestyle. They will research the origin of foods and how food has been a major part of life throughout history.

Alongside this topic, the children will be planning and performing their Remembrance assembly for parents which will be held in school on Monday 12th November at 9:15. The children will study the life of a WW1 soldier and the impact war had on soldiers and their families.They will also study the positive elements of war and how war brings people together in unity - e.g. The Christmas Day Truce story through the novel "War Games".
