Year Five – Term 1

Firstly, can we wish you a happy and peaceful half-term. We are certainly ready for it, but we are also gearing up for a strong Term 2 and the run-up to Christmas. In truth, the arrival of Ofsted in Week 2 was a highly stressful time for all of us, but we feel in Year […]

Week 6 in Year Five

‘The chocolate screaming at me to eat it…’ ‘Wicked witches wailing in the sky…’ ‘The biggest booming bonfire as hot as lava…’ ‘Demons pull everything into endless eternity…’ ‘I shout my barbaric yawp through the earth…’ Poetry week in Year Five.  And not at all bad either.  We finished up today with writing the poems […]

Literacy has built to a Big Write this morning – largely for us to get a clear impression of their writing skills and levels.  They were asked to combine a holiday they might […]
