Year 5 – Forest & Sage
Oct 10 2025
We’ve had a busy week in year 5 getting our head around multiplying and dividing by 10, 100 and 1000 and writing our non-chronological reports about the Olympic Games! In Science, we separated a mixture using filter paper, funnels and different beakers. We identified that the salt and sugar would be very hard to separate …

It’s been a busy week in year 5. We’ve started our new topic on the Olympics and are preparing for our non-chronological report writing next week. The Ancient Olympic Games sounded epic but quite brutal and unfair! In Maths, we have been looking at decimal numbers and rounding, adding, subtracting and ordering them. Keep getting …

Happy European Languages Day! We enjoyed doing some Spanish, reading a story in German, responding to the register in different languages, guessing different languages and looking at interesting idioms (sayings). We also took part in a 3D printing workshop, which required our listening and coding skills. We were very impressed with how the children picked …

This week we have been working hard on our Horrible Histories leaflets about Victorian Inventions. We have some very humorous and punny people in Year 5! We have also been looking at Roman Numerals. It’s quite hard to remember the rules and orderings of them – anything involving 4 and 9 means that you need …

Forest class have had an artistic week completing their art project. We based our artwork on a poem called “Woodland Magic”. Firstly, we created colours by mixing paints. Then we chopped and stuck down shapes. Lastly, we used carbon copy paper to write words and make marks on top of our work. The finished results …

Another busy week in year 5 ending with Careers Day! We were lucky to have some great speakers and activities and the senior orchestra performed wonderfully with our visiting orchestra in the afternoon. Our trip to the Victorian was wonderful (if not a bit scary). We can’t believe how strict they were back then! The …

We’ve had a great week in Year 5 and finished our English Unit on Origami Yoda. The children wrote excellent discussion texts outlining the possibilities of whether Origami Yoda can predict the future in a very balanced and fair way. Well done everyone! We were lucky enough to take part in an archery workshop yesterday, …
