Summer 1 Term News
Year 5 have had such a brilliant term since coming back after Easter! Residential was a fantastic week, for all children who went. Children conquered their fears, and took part in a variety of different activities, that made the children work together, show encouragement and develop their resiliance. It was amazing to see the children's confidence grown and see them enjoying their week. The children who took part in the activity week at school, had a brilliant time, we saw baking, cooking, sewing, cheerleading, adventures in forest school and many more. It was lovely to see the children forming new friendships with different children. When we were all back at school, the term flew by with lots of fun. The swimming pool was a huge success and it was fantastic to see all children enjoying their swimming lessons. Seeing their confidence in the swimming pool increase throughout the two weeks was lovely to see. The children also worked incredibly hard on their residential assembly, and performed it brilliantly to the school and parents. We are very excited for our final term together in Summer 2.

Reading in KS2
As a school we love to read and think this is really important. It is the expectation that children read for 20 minutes a day, 5 days a week. Children can borrow books from their classroom or the school library. The children should be completing accelerated reader quizzes, when they have finished their book.
