We cannot wait to find out what the year holds for us all together!

Here is an overview of the term ahead:

Year 5 Term 1 Overview

PE will be on Wednesday afternoons, always bring your inside and outdoor kits. We will be out whatever the weather!

The children should read at least 4 times each week (this can include Reading Plus).  Raffle tickets will be awarded – I wonder who will win our first book prizes of the year?

We also encourage the children to use Times Tables Rock Stars on a regular basis.

We have had a great time trying out paddle-boarding and kayaking around Folkestone Harbour.

Even Miss Welsh and Mr Hooper gave it a go! It was cold but amazing fun, though Mr Hooper did fall in… a lot!

This week we have enjoyed learning about the Ancient Greeks and writing play-scripts inspired by the adventures of Odysseus! The children also impressed us with their netball, gymnastics and swimming skills.
