A message from Miss Gates...
Hi Year 5,
I can't believe it has been so long since we were all together. I'm missing you all lots and can't wait till we can be together again.
I hope you are all enjoying the lovely weather and spending time with your family.
I'm enjoying the sunshine when I'm not at work and looking after my new puppy we've named him Rolo! He's very cute, but mischievous.
Keep up all the hard work and please send in pictures, I love seeing what you are all doing.
Take care and hope to see your big smiles soon 
lots of love
Miss Gates xxx

Welcome to Year 5!
Mrs Jones & Miss Gates
Welcome to Year 5's page. Here we will keep you updated on what has been going on in Year 5 over the year. At the bottom of this page you will find documents and links that you may find handy to use with your child.
PE
During the Spring Term (until Easter) we will be continuing swimming lessons every Tuesday afternoon. Swimming kit - including a swimming cap - needs to be in school on a Tuesday. Please make sure earrings are removed and hair is tied up for on swimming days.
Although we won't have timetabled PE sessions during this half term, it is important that children still have their PE kits in school every day. Indoor PE kit consists of blue shorts, a yellow t-shirt and black pumps. For Outdoor PE lessons children will need a kit that will keep them sufficiently warm and dry so a tracksuit, trainers, clean socks and a lightweight waterproof jacket would be ideal.
Homework
We expect children:
- to read at least four times each week - reading diaries will be checked on Fridays so that we can reward children who have read.
- to practise their times tables on the Times Tables Rockstars app (we will provide paper copies for those who don't have an internet connection).
- to learn their weekly spellings.
- to complete a topic project.

World Space Week - The Moon: A Gateway to the Stars
We had a great day on Thursday celebrating World Space Week. We started the morning with an assembly lead by Miss Birch and then once back in class we watched a video of the take of the Apollo 11 mission to the moon and the eventual moon landing! As our current English unit is writing newspaper reports, we wrote a report about the first steps on the moon. In the afternoon we created some beautiful artwork with Mrs Cox based on an illustration from The Sea of Tranquility by Mark Haddon.
Why Must Gunpowder, Treason and Plot Never Be Forgotten? - Stunning Start
This week Year 5 got stuck in to the topic of the term: Why Must Gunpowder, Treason and Plot Never Be Forgotten? We realised that the topic must have something to do with Guy Fawkes and the Gunpowder Plot of 1605 but once we understood what the crime of treason was, we had lots more questions to ask such as: Who has ever tried to commit treason? Has anybody ever been successful? Is it true that people who have attempted to commit treason have been executed? Does it still happen? We were split into the two groups of the English Civil War; the Royalists (also known as the Cavaliers) and the Parliamentarians (the Roundheads!) and completed a variety of tasks. We can’t wait to learn more about this topic!
Dreams!
Our first week back at school had a focus of 'Dreams'. We thought carefully about our dreams for the future and we created an 'aspiration tree' with our long term and short term dreams that we'd like to achieve. We then made our very own dream catchers! Have a look at the pictures below.
Dream catchers!
World Book Day 2020
Science Week 2020
To celebrate Science week we took part in a forensic work shop to find out what forensic scientists do. We studied fossils and learned all about Palaeontology and finding out about Mary Anning who was one of the first palaeontologists.
