Learning Update – Year 5 – Friday 17th July 2026

It’s hard to believe we’ve nearly reached the end of another fantastic year! Over the past two weeks, Year 5 have been busy completing their final projects and celebrating everything they have achieved.

The children put the finishing touches to their soft toys, checking that their final products met the design brief before adding embellishments such as buttons, bows and facial features. Their creativity and perseverance have shone through and they should be very proud of their finished designs.

Our Ancient Egypt topic ended with the children learning about mummification, including death masks, canopic jars and burial ceremonies, before designing board games based on the Egyptian journey through the afterlife. We also explored what everyday life was like in Ancient Egypt, rounding off the topic with some fantastic historical knowledge.

As we begin to wind down for the summer, the children have been moving classrooms, finishing off their learning and looking ahead to the exciting opportunities that Year 6 will bring. We are also looking forward to our Wellbeing Morning and Leavers' Assembly next week as we celebrate a wonderful year together.

It has been a pleasure to teach this fantastic group of children: they have shown resilience, kindness and enthusiasm throughout the year. We are incredibly proud of all they have achieved.

We wish all of Year 5 and their families a happy, safe and relaxing summer break. Good luck in Year 6 - we know you'll continue to work hard, embrace new challenges and make us proud!

We have had an incredible, action-packed fortnight in Year 3! Here is a look at what we have been up to.

Sporting Success & Team Spirit

We are immensely proud of the children at Fun Sports and District Sports last week. They showed outstanding team spirit, cheered for their peers and proved to be fantastic school ambassadors.

Class Reward

To celebrate their hard work this term, we ended the week with a fantastic water game on the field. The children loved splashing around and playing games in the sunshine.

Maths: Operations and Money

In Maths, we have been busy consolidating our core calculation skills through several different methods. The children worked hard on identifying coins and calculating change during our money topic. They also mastered the formal written column methods for both addition and subtraction. Finally, the class practised using formal written methods to multiply two-digit numbers by one-digit numbers.

English: Fossil Hunters

Inspired by our text The Fossil Hunter, the children created fossil information booklets. They used clear subheadings, interesting facts and precise technical vocabulary.

History: Roman Legacies

We explored the lasting impact of the Roman Empire on Britain. The children examined Roman coins and discussed how they spread messages, alongside other legacies like roads and towns.

A Huge Thank You

Finally, we want to take this opportunity to say a massive thank you to all of our parents. We have had a wonderful year in Year 3. It has been an absolute privilege watching your children transition from the Year 2s who arrived last September into fully-fledged junior school children.

We hope you all have a peaceful, safe and fun summer holiday.

Thank you for your continued support!

The Year 3 Team

What a fabulous time we have all had at our 3rd annual Well-being Morning.

All the children got to take part in 4 different activies - HITT workout run by Active360, Yoga run by Natalie Penniall, Ecotherapy run by Mrs Glasspool and Nature Art run by Miss Pascoe.

Everyone joined in all the activities and really enjoyed themselves. It was so nice to be outside and enjoy the sunshine all morning.

Quite a few children brought in their homemade fruit and vegetable plates which looked amazing and were so so creative. Well done to their winners - I hope they enjoy their prizes.
