Year 5 is an exciting year where children receive their pen licence and meet their ‘buddy’ in Nursery class. The children really benefit from the time spent with our youngest members of the Blue School and spend a lovely time reading to them in various corners of the Nursery.
We like to focus on a positive growth mindset and we enjoy using our zones of regulation to display how we are feeling each day. We are keen to learn from others and explore how we can improve our own understanding. We enjoy an enriching and engaging curriculum that provides us with opportunities to investigate current affairs and to learn about inspirational people.
In Sycamore class, we believe in equality and diversity. We are very conscious of sustainability and recognise that we each have a responsibility to protect our world. With that in mind, we believe that kindness, forgiveness and empathy come first, and a smile or compliment can make someone’s day.
We are currently enjoying reading the fantastic book – Cosmic by Frank Cottrell-Boyce, and we are planning most of our English work around this novel. We have started on our Science topic of Earth and Space where the children are discovering many important facts about our solar system.
We will also be studying other interesting topics, including Slums, the Kingdom of Benin, We are Game Developers, Properties and Changes to Materials, We are Cryptographers, Wisdom and Sikhism. In addition, we take part in a Daily Mile and receive PE lessons from specialist sports coaches to keep us physically active.
