Welcome to 5W

Year 5 is an exciting year where, having reached the upper stage of juniors, developing as confident, independent individuals and responsible citizens become a real focus for the children whilst exploring opportunities beyond the classroom and indeed, primary school. For example, in school, modelling expectations for the younger years is even more important especially in their role as Year 1 buddies. Outside of Belgrave, there will be several chances throughout the year to visit and find out more about what goes on in our local high schools.

We've got some really diverse and interesting topics such as Space, Rivers and the Greeks (to name just a few) that will provide us with a platform for developing our English and Maths skills at the same time as broadening our knowledge and understanding of the wider world.

In the Autumn Term, we will be taking an educational trip to the River Dee, while in January we will attend the Safety Central lifeskills centre, and in the Summer Term we will enjoy a trip to the Xplore! Science Discovery Centre. More information will follow nearer the time, as will details about when it's our turn for swimming lessons.

If you wish your child to walk home alone, please send in a letter (or email) stating your permission and, if you require them to leave a mobile phone in school for use after school, please see the office to obtain the permission paperwork.

There is a huge amount of information here on the website about what to expect in Year 5, and to let you know how you can support at home. There's also our Class Dojo for updates and you can check the gallery below too to see some of what we have done this year.

Kind regards,

Mr Woolmer
