Hello all!  What a week we've had in Year 5. We have had a STEM talk from a supercar engineer, we have been investigating to see which materials are soluble and we have also evaluated bread on its characteristics today.  Online Safety I wanted to take a moment to address concerns that have recently come to my attention. I have noticed that some of the children in our class are engaging with online games such as Fortnite, which is rated for players aged 13 and above. Given that the students in our class are 9-10 years old, I wanted to share some information and encourage vigilance regarding their online gaming habits. Games like Fortnite often expose players to  online interactions with strangers , which can sometimes lead to inappropriate conversations, exposure to unsuitable language, or even interactions that may not be age-appropriate. Additionally, online games can foster addictive behaviour, making it challenging for children to manage their time effectively or focus...

Happy Friday all!  I can confirm that Year 5 placed 76th in the Sumdog competition. That really isn't bad considering there were 1211 classes which entered. We did only have 21 out out 30 children from our class enter this time. I hope next time we can all pull together so compete the in maths competition.  Online Safety I wanted to take a moment to address concerns that have recently come to my attention.

Happy Friday all!  This week has flown by. We have started our new topics and have hit the ground running. I would like to remind you all that our Sumdog competition has started today and will finish on Thursday evening . This is a bigger competition compared to the last one. Good luck to you all! Also, tonight at 9pm is the cut off for the submission of the BBC's 500 Words competition. Thank you to everyone who has entered! I am aware we haven't had a spelling test this week, spellings will resume next week.  Next week is Anti-Bullying Week. On Tuesday the children can come to school wearing odd socks and Friday we are having a non-uniform day for Children in Need 2024.  Online Safety I wanted to take a moment to address concerns that have recently come to my attention.

Good afternoon all,  How are we already at half term?! I feel this year will fly by. Well done to all children who showed their project this week - I was very impressed and learnt so much. Thank you all.  I do hope I will see you all during half term at our Fireworks event on 2nd November . It would be lovely to see you in attendance, it would be even better to have you volunteer to help run the event. We still need people to help run the even and it would be amazing if you could help. Without volunteers we are unable to run these events which raise money for our children. If you can help at all please contact myself or any members of the PTA. Thank you so much and I hope to see you all there!  500 Words Challenge I would like all Year 5 children to enter the BBC's 500 Words Challenge. We need to submit these stories by  Friday 8 November 2024 . All children need to do is write a story they would love to read in 500 Words   or less . I have registered mysel...
