Year 5 - Mrs Boulton and Miss McKay

2022-2023

Welcome to Year 5! 

 

We have been so impressed with how our Year 5's have settled in since we have returned to school in September. Already, we have produced some fantastic work in our American topic. We hope you enjoy looking through this work and will keep you updated with our learning journey.

Sportshall Athletics (Year 5/6) January 2023

On Tuesday 31st January, 17 pupils from Year 5 and 6 competed in an athletics competition at West Notts College. They competed against other local schools and the atmosphere was certainly tense! Mr Freeman and I were very impressed with the qualities on show: tremendous team spirit, encouragement, support, determination and, most importantly, respect for the other competitors. A special mention must be given to the boys who won every race - fantastic. It was an amazing afternoon and thoroughly enjoyed by everyone!
