Fri 10 Jul 2026Well it's been another HOT week! We've still worked hard on writing a diary from King Arthur about the excitement of his coronation following him pulling out the sword from the stone! We're working on sentence structures, vocabulary, spellings and punctuation. In Maths we have completed the Statistics unit and started position and direction. We also went on our Field Study around Stapleford, looking at how different roads can be similar or different depending on the amenities. We have also delved into local history by studying Rolls Royce and how it came to be.
Remember that next week is swimming- children need non baggy swim trunks or a swimming costume, a towel, a cap- this is essential and is a rule set by the provider, sliders/ crocs/ flip flops, a bag to put clothes in.... the other children who have experienced this have LOVED it. We hear the excitement every day!

Everyone has really enjoyed their swimming lessons and we can already see improved confidence and skills. A lot of the children spent 2 days at Bramcote for their transition and it sounds like they had a great time. Those in school found out more about the water cycle in Geography and continued with their work in Spanish.
Remember your swimming kits again next week.
Have a great weekend,

Fri 26 Jun 2026What a scorcher!
Despite the hot weather, we have had a good week in Year 5. On Tuesday, everyone in school got to meet their new class teacher and spend the day in their new year group. It was so lovely to hear the children come back from their day really excited to move in to Year 6 in September. In maths this week, we have been focusing on decimals and using the four operations with decimals. Next week, we will be moving on to negative numbers. In English, we have continued reading the Snow Leopard and will soon start thinking about writing our own versions of the story.
Please see the spelling list for next week below.
Next week, Year 5 will be swimming every afternoon so please ensure they bring their swimming kit and a swimming cap. This is the pool requirements and they cannot swim without one.
