Year 5 Class News
Spring Term
Year 5 have loved their DT cooking sessions during the last half term. We developed precise cutting skills, when using sharp knives and then applied these to help us make soup. We learnt about seasonality of fruit and vegetables and we made an Eton mess with frozen berries as they were not in season.
Well done Year 5 for your super cooking skills and for managing to use sharp knives safely!
Spring Term
In Wows and Wellbeing this term, Ash and Willow Class have been getting their green fingers out and helping with our school allotment. The children had the opportunity each week to go to the allotment on a Friday afternoon and pick the remaining fruit and vegetables that are growing including apples and tomatoes. Additionally, we have been making sure the soil is weeded and ready for planting more produce and plants in the upcoming terms. Thankfully, each week the weather was great and they used the time as a well-earnt brain break from their learning in school. It was fantastic to see how the children have been responsible and considered how to work together as a team when using the equipment and completing jobs.

Summer Term 2
The Year 5 children have really enjoyed planning, working together and developing ideas for their community cohesion project this term. They have researched different charities and causes, and have decided to raise money for Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH), to help babies and children who are suffering from genetic conditions and need life saving treatment, or other essential medical help.
The classes have started working on posters, sponsorship and plans for their own fun run. They are really looking forward to the big day and some have even started training! We are proud of the children who displayed excellent group work and ideas for this Year 5 project.
Summer Term 1
Year 5 have had such a busy term! They have been completing a entrepreneur project for the school disco. They had come up with exciting ideas to sell certain items at the disco. They have been learning about profit and loss as well as the importance of marketing. Well done for all of your hard work. They have also been spending time rehearsing for their wonderful class assemblies.
