Autumn Term message from Mrs Cropper:
Hello,
We’re so excited to welcome all our lovely children back after the summer holiday. We hope you’ve had a fantastic break and are ready to dive into an exciting autumn term ahead!
This term, we’ll be exploring some fascinating topics, starting with the Shang Dynasty, the ancient Chinese civilisation. Please take a look at our topic web below to gain further details on Year 5’s Autumn term curriculum.
In addition to our history adventures, the children will also begin learning the new “Let’s Go Sing” songs, which they’ll perform on stage later this year. How exciting!
Times tables are still a big focus for us this term. Make sure to log in to TT Rock Stars to practice and have some fun with your maths skills. We will be hosting a few challenges so make sure you log on!
Below is a link to the Year 5 and Year 6 spellings. These are words that all children are expected to be able to spell by the end of Year 6. It is important that we practise spelling these words, as they are commonly spelt incorrectly meaning that we may find them a little bit trickier to remember. How many can you already spell?
Here’s to a fantastic term ahead! If you need to ask anything, please come and ask.
Best wishes,
Mrs Cropper

This week Year 5 have been writing instructions on how to create an origami Yoda! We used iPads to record our instructions and made our own Yodas in the process.
Science Fun!

We have been learning about forces and investigated the effect that friction has on different types. Thank you to those that came in with their bikes allowing us to complete our experiment.
BAE Rocket Workshop

Year 5 had great fun with a stomp rocket workshop, hosted by the BAE Systems STEM Team. Children designed their own rocket, predicted its trajectory and watched forces in action as they flew across the playground!
Exciting Day at the Liverpool World Museum!
year5 teacher (S.Cropper) on: Year 5 Blog
Wow! What an awesome day Year 5 had at the Liverpool World Museum. They got to explore different artefacts, but the highlight was when they got their hands on some Ancient Greek pieces!
Meeting Jenny McLachlan: Inspiring Young Writers
year5 teacher (S.Cropper) on: Year 5 Blog
We were thrilled to have a video call on Friday with the incredibly talented Jenny McLachlan, author of the popular book Stink, which is one of our FBA books. She shared her inspiring journey of becoming a writer, encouraging us to embrace the power of our imaginations through reading and writing. To make the experience even more special, Jenny gave us a lesson on drawing the fairy Stink from her book. It was a great session that has ignited our passion for writing and creativity. Let's dive into the magical world of Stink and explore our own imaginations! If you haven't read it already, please borrow a copy from school.
