Welcome to Year 5

2023 -2024

React Science Show!

Today, Year 5 attended a science show at Lakes College. The focus of this show was on endangered 'ugly animals' and how they are ignored because they aren't cute! The children were taught about so many different 'ugly animals' and what made them amazing. We had a lot of fun.

Properties of materials

Today, Year 5 have been testing the properties of materials. We decided to test flexibility, hardness, magnetism, transparency and permeability. We had a discussion as a class on how to test these, ensuring that each test was a fair test.

Welcome to Year 5

2022-2023

Year 5 is an exciting and challenging year for the children as they are expected to take a more mature and independent approach towards learning. These skills are developed throughout the year during a variety of tasks and lessons and provide the key foundations that prepare the children for the challenges of year 6. In the Autumn term all children are invited to go on a residential trip to Lockerbie Manor. This represents a fantastic opportunity for our children to take part in adventurous activity and develop their resilience and further skills that they may not have even discovered yet.

Welcome to Year 5

The children have made a super start to Year 5. Thank you to Holly, Millie and Rose who lead our first class worship on friendship. The girls reminded us of the important ‘ingredients’ needed for a solid friendship.

Graffiti Classics - Playground Proms (June 2022)

We really enjoyed a visit from Graffiti Classics, a string quartet. They changed our perceptions on classical music, making us realise that it can be cool!

The Water Diviner's Tale - Opera North (June 2022)

On Tuesday 21st June, we went to the Carnegie Theatre in Workington to perform 'The Water Diviner's Tale' alongside the cast and orchestra from Opera North. We had practised for many months and our performance was fantastic.

Pebble Jar Treat (June 2022)

We have worked hard to fill our pebble jar during the Spring Term, following the class rules and expectations. We managed to fill our jar, so we had ice creams and a long break time as a treat!

Experience Pentecost (June 2022)

Year 5 visit to Dove Cottage (June 2022)

Year 5 visited Dove Cottage, Grasmere as part of their local history study of William Wordsworth. We looked around Wordsworth's former home, gardens and woodlands and also explored primary and secondary sources in the museum. In the afternoon, we walked along the old Coffin Trail, using our surroundings to create some of our own poems - just like Wordsworth did.

D&T - Spaghetti Bolognese (May 2022)

As part of our D&T topic, we made a very yummy bolognese sauce. We created our own Year 5 recipe looking carefully at the nutritional amounts, learnt about where the mince and spaghetti comes from, as well as designing our own labels for our jars.

PE - Commonwealth Games Escape Rooms (May 2022)

Science - Life Cycles (May 2022)

Mr Emmott came into school to show us two lambs from his farm. They were Swaledale lambs and we were amazed to see how much the difference in size - one was 3 weeks old and the smaller one was 1 week old. We asked lots of questions that helped us understand the lifecycle of a sheep, which we know is a mammal. Miss Swinbank and Mr Emmott's dog, Alvin, also came along to meet everyone!
