Year 5 children worked so hard to create some fantastic designs using hard boiled eggs.

In Year 5 we have been very busy. We are together as a whole class now and have started all new topics for the new term. 6 lucky pupils have taken part in FLS and are enjoying it very much.

Mr McCarthy is a very nice teacher. He is usually very funny. He teachesYear 5 and everybody likes him. He also does football lessons every Friday after school and sometimes takes us to football tournaments. He is very sporty and energetic. He likes to communicate with the children well. He drives a Mazda!

It is coming to the end of the school year in Y5, but we are not too sad as we have lots of exciting activities still to do. We have been to Whicham Thorns Activity Centre which was great fun. We tried problem solving, archery, tubing (which you can see in the photo), orienteering and climbing. We had a brilliant day, and thankfully the rain held off until home time.

We also have our picnic in the park with our buddies coming up, and we have sports day this week! We are practising hard for our Robin Hood production which is alo next week.

In class we still have work to do so we are prepared for Y6. We have been continuing our Maths and English work as well as finishing off Life Cycles in Science, and Rivers in Geogrpahy.

Last week we also took part in a lovely service at the church to celebrate our Confirmation. The children looked so smart and all of the parents and staff were so proud of the children - well done!!

Once again Dr Maths organised a Maths Trail in Newcastle. This year it was along the Quayside and some of the children from KS2 accompanied by parent helpers had to follow the trail and solve the puzzles. This event is to show the chldren that maths is important in our everyday lives, not just in lessons at school.

Well yet again this has been a really busy year for Year 5. We have welcomed 3 new class members, Anna, Ben and Charlton and they have settled in really well, so much so that we cant's imagine life without them now.
During this last term we have also had the benefit of Miss Butler and she has beeen great. We especially like the Aztec masks and the Assembly that we prepared with Year 6 and Miss Richardson.
