Summer Term
Welcome to the Year 5 page! We have had a busy and action packed year so far, and just completed a fun filled Mission Week. We have studied a range of new topics including the Vikings, a character who was given a mission to grow seeds, explored space and the biomes of our planet. We have also enjoyed a range of practical learning sessions including; Drumba, VR History, Visits to Jodrell Bank and the Town Hall as well as our own Shakespeare performance.
I hope you find this page useful but as ever, if you have any questions or worries please do not hesitate to ring school or speak to me.
