Today, Year 5 ‘dropped’ into the fascinating world of Sir Isaac Newton – one of the greatest scientists in history! ⚗️📚
We explored his famous story about discovering gravity 🍎 (yes, the falling apple!) and how this discovery changed the way we understand the universe. The class also learned all about Newton’s Three Laws of Motion, discovering how they explain everything from why we stay still until something pushes us, to how rockets blast off into space! 🚀

✏️🖍️ The Day the Crayons Quit 🖍️✏️
Before half term, each class focused on the text The Day the Crayons Quit by Drew Daywalt. Inspired by the book, the children wrote a letter from the perspective of an item they either overuse or underuse. Today in assembly, an author from each class shared their published piece. From tablets to skates, these personified items had truly had enough.
We were blown away by not only the amazing writing but also the fabulous storytelling – we were on the edge of our seats. A huge congratulations to our budding authors. We are so proud of you.
Check out their fantastic stories below!

The children in Year 5 have had fun experimenting with different dialects and accents this week in Reader’s Theatre. The children read out an extract from the Iron Man by Ted Hughes using a variety of voices including whisper, monster, old, Received Pronunciation and even slow motion! #year5stm #oracystm #readingstm … See MoreSee Less

This morning, Year 5 had a fantastic trip to Newcastle Library! The children were excited to explore the shelves and had the chance to share some of their favourite books with Terry, the librarian. From magical adventures to thrilling mysteries, there was plenty of book talk and enthusiasm all around!
Terry also shared some of the exciting events coming up at the library – lots to look forward to for our keen readers! He then treated the class to a reading of an extract from The Witches by Roald Dahl – a perfect way to end a magical morning. To finish off the visit, the children were able to browse the plethora of books that the library has to offer and choose a book to bring home. 📖
Thank you to Terry and the team at Newcastle Library for making us feel so welcome! 💙

🌟 Playground Fun with Years 5 & 6! 🌟
Years 5 and 6 have been learning all about playing together and enjoying classic playground games – including Duck, Duck, Goose, Basketball with Mr Wyse, What Time Is It Mr Wolf?, Big Fat Pony, and Stuck in the Mud! 🏀🐺🦆
They also joined Maria and Milly for a fun-filled dance workout that got everyone moving and smiling.
It was fantastic to get out in the fresh air, learn to play kindly and enjoy some great teamwork and laughter together!

Today, Year 5 have taken part in a ‘Celebration of the Word’ about Creation.
We reflected on the words from the Book of Genesis and said a collective prayer about the wonderful things that God has given us.
The children were sent forth with a mission to:
“Take care of God’s Creation.”
Thank you to Freddie, Emia, Jessica and Jewel, who led these in their classrooms.
