Welcome to Year Five
Welcome to our Year 5 page!
In Year 5, we encourage the children to become independent and enthusiastic learners.
We have an exciting range of themes to engage everyone: (WW2, Space & North America) as well as thought provoking and practical science lessons. We aim to make our learning environment stimulating, creative and supportive (with the help of our children) and value what everyone has to offer.
Please use the link below to see all of the information shared at the Year 5 transition meeting.
