Autumn Term message from Mrs Cropper:
Welcome Back Year 5,
We’re thrilled to welcome our wonderful Year 5 pupils back for a brand-new school year! We hope you had a fantastic summer break and are feeling refreshed, recharged and ready for all the exciting adventures ahead. This term is packed with fun, learning and discovery.
Get ready to roll up your sleeves and dig deep—literally! We’ll be exploring the past by searching for historic artifacts and uncovering fascinating stories from Ancient China. Who knows what treasures we might find? In science, we’ll be investigating forces through hands-on experiments that will spark curiosity and creativity. Prepare to test, observe, and discover how the world around us works! We’re also heading out on an exciting trip to Preston! It’ll be a brilliant opportunity to learn beyond the classroom and collect some data for our Geography learning.
As always, reading remains a key part of our learning journey. Please make sure you’re keeping up with your reading at home.
