Click here for a wonderful list of recommended reads for Year 5 children! - Becoming more resilient by taking risks with our learning – both inside and outside the classroom (e.g. through drama or school trips).
- Reflecting on our work and learning from our mistakes (FAIL = First Attempt In Learning!).
- Improving our handwriting.
Please remember...
- P.E days – Wednesday and Thursday. On these days, children will need to come to school in their PE kits (including suitable footwear) and will stay in their kits all day.

In P.E, the children have had lots of fun developing their tag rugby skills and playing matches!
Year 5 Oak have had a super start to the year.
In science, the children have had lots of fun making their own periscope, a simple device that uses mirrors to reflect images through a tube. Light from a distant object strikes the top mirror and is then reflected at an angle of 45 degrees down the periscope tube. At the bottom of the periscope, the light strikes another mirror and is then reflected into the viewer's eye.
