Ms Sharples Year 5 have had a brilliantly wet, muddy and fun morning walking up to Rivington Pike. Some children really stepped out of their comfort zones and we are really proud of them all. Well done!
We want to say a big thank you to all family and friends who have sponsored the children for completing the walk. The money will be well spent on lovely new books for our class libraries.

Today, our classroom was filled with footballers, photographers, business people, dog walkers, film stars, teachers, video game designers and artists (to mention just a few). It was lovely to hear about the children’s hopes for their future and see them think big for themselves.
Last week’s writer of the week was Elsie. She used a range of sentence types and really tried to understand how Billy might feel as she wrote in character as Mr Osho.
Well done Elsie 🙂
This week’s writer of the week is Holly. She has made a big effort to add her own vocabulary to this week’s slow write. Well done Holly 🙂
What a great start to the year! Year 5B have already done and learned so much already.
We have looked at those who risked their lives to translate the Bible in RE. We reminded ourselves of the continents and European countries in Topic as we prepare to compare and contrast our local area with the Lake District. In science, we have been looking at the properties of materials and have developed our working scientifically skills of asking question, planning an enquiry, making predictions and drawing conclusions. The children have made a super start with their writing and are beginning to apply the new sentence types that they have learned. We are really enjoying our class text, The Boy Who Made Everyone Laugh: it’s heart felt and funny. We have been focusing on the 4 calculations operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division in maths. Year 5 have had a fabulous food technology morning with Ms Langley. In PE, we have been learning to dribble with control and tackle safely.
Today, the children celebrated European languages day in class and listened really carefully to Madame Harris’ lesson about regions in France. We discussed the importance of learning a language and how each language is a key to unlock the world and understating the culture of others. We were so involved that we forgot to take some photos of the children dressed in red, white and blue to celebrate – oh no! We have got some pictures to share or our some of our learning so far though.
keep up the great work Year 5 Blue!
What did you observe in the micro habitat?
Year 2 Green have been out on a short local walk to the field to observe micro habitats. We observed hedges, undergrowth, grass, tree trunks and leaf litter. One of the micro habitats had just been changed by humans as a large tractor had been to cut the grass. We recorded our findings. We noticed a pattern: the living things in micro habitats are all small.
Year 5 STEM club made their circuits so that they could light up the model of the sun in the centre of their model solar systems. They made their own switches. The children also investigated the best way to support the planets in the model.
