“Learning, loving and encouraging through Christ.”
Hello and welcome to Year 5!
We are really looking forward to working with you this year and have lots of exciting things planned.
Here is an overview of what we will be learning about this term:
Here are the KIRFs (Key Instant Recall Facts) for this term.
Please do not hesitate in contacting a member of the Year 5 team if you have any questions.
Mrs Lee (Maple Class) and Mr Young (Willow Class).
Half of Year 5 went over to the Marsh to take part in a Pop Lacrosse fitness session.
The children worked really hard all afternoon and showed exceptional sportsmanship!
Well done Year 5 🙂
This term in Year 5, we will be focusing on learning factor pairs.
Please make sure that you are practicing these at home as they will really help the children to build on their knowledge and understanding of number.
Welcome back to Term 4! We hope you had a fantastic half-term break!
Here is an overview of the term ahead:

In our Computing lessons this term we have been learning all about the Mars Rover – Curiosity. We learnt how this machine is able to input, analyze and output data, sending its findings back to Earth with the use of binary code.
In this week’s lesson we learnt about the CPU and how it is a little bit like the computers brain. We learnt that computers are able to process codes (which are written in binary) and use this to follow instructions.
Then, we went outside and thought a bit more about how this works. In pairs, one of us pretended to be Curiosity while the other was the technician back on Earth. The technician had to give the rover a certain amount of code (information) at a time and then the rover had to follow it. If the rover found a problem the technician had to edit their code to help the rover.
We then learnt about giving conditional instructions and linked this back to our learning on Scratch.
This week in our Science lesson, Year 5 created a scale model of the Solar System. We used lots of different objects to compare the scale of the planets, such as peppercorns, basketballs and oranges. We were very surprised at how much bigger Jupiter is than Mercury! We also used toilet roll to compare the distance between each planet. Each sheet of toilet roll represented 16 million km!
Wow! What a fantastic first term we have had in Year 5! We have done so much learning and been so proud of how Year 5 have persevered even when things were tricky.
