Welcome to Year 5!

Welcome to this year's Year 5 blog!

Here you can find snippets of all the great learning that goes on in Year 5. We have got off to a great start and we are learning lots throughout our different subjects, including taking a close look at the ancient Shang Dynasty of China.  So the next time you see a Year 5 out and about, why not ask them to share a fun fact with you about this ancient civilization?

Congratulations!

Congratulations to everybody who participated in our annual Cabot Sports Day!

A fantastic day was had by all, with excellent examples of partnership, inclusion and excellence shown throughout the day!

Enjoy your well-deserved rest over the holidays, ready for another great term!

Year 5 meets Dragons' Den

What a fantastic week we have had!

This week has seen Year 5 turn into entrepreneurs as we made and sold our very own product. During maths lessons, we thought very carefully about profit and loss and how we could make the most profitable product.

Take a look at us in action! Here we are making our friendship bracelets!

Sir Francis Drake: Pirate, explorer or privateer?

Year 5 have got off to a fantastic start to the term!

We have already been learning lots about Sir Francis Drake and what different people thought about him. Over the coming weeks, we will be using this information to put ourselves in the shoes of different historical figures to form our own opinions about Sir Francis Drake.

Tell us what you think... Was Sir Francis Drake a pirate, explorer or privateer?

Happy New Year!

Wishing everybody a Happy New Year!

I hope you have all had a wonderful break before returning on Tuesday. I am very much looking forward to all the exciting learning that will continue to take place in Year 5 during this new term!
