Year 5 Weekly Blog 11.07.25- ‘Do something this week that your future self will thank you for’

And just like that, we have finished our penultimate week of Year 5! Our week has been dominated by rehearsals for the end of year play. The children have been pulled out of class daily to be rushed into the hall to practice their scenes and they gave done this full of enthusiasm and focus. In between all of this, learning has continued with lots of independent work in our English and RE final units. In English, the children have finished their final drafts of their Highwayman poem and have begun their final piece in their books. In RE, the children have continued their research into other faiths around the world with us looking into all of the big five religions of the world.

The children rolled up their sleeves on Monday as it to time for masterchef. On the menu was spaghetti bolognese with the children working on the clock to finish their creative dishes. I hope you all had the chance to have a taste of all of their hardwork.


Let’s Celebrate

  • Learner of the Week- This week our award goes to Rose for being a focused and brave learner. It has been such a disruptive with all of our play practices and yet when we have come back into the classroom for our key pieces of learning, you have been so focused as usual. I feel like I have seen a different side to you since we have started our play practices and you have really shone on stage- I can’t wait to see this in full during our performances next week.



  • Virtue Star of the Week- Our virtues for this half term are love and compassion and our winner this week goes to Jacob. I have sensed a real growth in you Jacob as we have come to the end of Year 5. You have shown qualities that show that you are ready for Year 6. You have been so considerate towards your staff members and have been always on hand to help- this has not gone unnoticed.
