Welcome to Year 5!

Our value for this term is perseverance.

Our learning this week:

It was lovely to have everyone back at school this week after the Christmas break and the enthusiasm for our new topic this term focusing on the Antarctic expeditions of Ernest Shackleton.

We have eased back into the new term with a mixture of history lessons, immersion activities (creating a survival guide for travelling to Antarctica, a poster about an Antarctic animal and a board game themed around an Antarctic expedition), guided reading and a maths baseline assessment.

Next week, we will return to our usual class timetable.

PE Lessons:

Our PE lessons this term will take place on a Tuesday afternoon and Thursday morning. We will be focusing on dance and volleyball.

Eisteddfod:

This year's Eisteddfod competition is fast approaching with the class rounds taking place on 23rd January. Children are asked to perform a poem, rhyme, musical piece or song of their choice but there are some poem suggestions below.
