During this coming week we are going to be looking at poetry and having a go at writing our own! Watch this space to see the end results of exploring what makes an effective poem!

Do you have a favourite poem? We would love you to share it with us in Year 5!

How to make a Viking helmet!

In Year 5 we have been thinking about what makes a good quality set of instructions. We have linked this to our topic and followed a set of instructions to make Viking helmets. This helped us think about how we can write precise and detailed instructions of our own. It even gave us the opportunity to practise measuring accurately!

Welcome to Year 5!

Welcome to our Year 5 blog!

My name is Miss Gundy and we have got off to a very busy start to the school year. We have been enjoying learning all about the Vikings and Anglo Saxons as our topic work, as well as exploring animals including humans in science.

Try asking a Year 5 what they know about the Vikings and Anglo Saxons- they have really enjoyed sharing interesting facts about what they have learnt!
