Firstly, I just wanted to say a massive thank you for all the lovely Christmas presents that I received before Christmas, it was so kind of you all and I’m very grateful.
Our first whole week back at school has been very busy, and year 5 have welcomed 2022 with open arms in the classroom. We have started our new whole school literacy unit ‘The Lost Spells’ poetry book, and we have certainly enjoyed doing our performance poetry. In fact, one of the poems we looked at was called the ‘Jackdaw.’ This poem is performed as a rap and the ...
Another busy week has come to an end and we have definitely had plenty to keep us busy in Year 5. We have been busy finishing of assessments in preparation for our DT unit next week, which will be keeping us even busier in the run up to Christmas.
This week have took the opportunity to create even more mess in the classroom by doing another science experiment. We enjoyed dropping plastic eggs into flour and hot chocolate to create a crater. We have been studying what craters look like on the moon and exploring how they are formed, ...
Year 5 have been very busy with lots of activities this week, its certainly kept us all on our toes! First of all, I just want to say how proud I am of all of them with regards to our school trip. All of them behaved beautifully and they were all a real credit to Two Waters. The STEM discovery centre really treated us all to a fantastic experience on Thursday and really helped to further develop the children’s understanding of Space and other aspects of science. It’s fair to say that all of the children enjoyed the school ...
Children In Need Day: The children in Year 5 looked absolutely fabulous today in their fancy dress costumes. It was brilliant to see the amount of effort that had gone into their outfits, so thank you so much for helping them and for sending in your donation. All of the money will go to such a great cause, and will really help to change the lives of so many people.
In science this week, year 5 learnt all about the phases of the moon in preparation for our school STEM trip in a couple of weeks time. We had a ...
It has been another busy week in year 5 with lots of new learning taking place. The children have worked extremely hard within their literacy lessons this week and I have seen a real change in the quality of work produced. We have just finished drawing our very scary monsters, and are looking forward to writing our non-chronological report about them next week.
I hope you all have a lovely weekend and find sometime to relax.

This week Year 5 have shown a real maturity and positive attitude towards tackling the issue of climate change. We have been watching our daily episodes of Newsround to keep us in the loop with the progress being discussed at COP26, and have held many conversations about the issue within class. In a help to stop the effects of climate change we took it upon ourselves to go litter picking around the school, to help keep Two Waters litter free.
Every member of Year 5 showed the enthusiasm and drive to get the job done, and collected a total of ...
This week Year 5 have worked extremely hard in Art to produce some fantastic water colour paintings inspired by the French artist Henri Rousseau. We explored the use of tonal variation and blending within our paintings to give our work a real sense of ‘Rousseau’. The Children worked extremely hard and their final outcomes have been brilliant.
We have also come to the end of a very busy half term and even busier week. I’m so proud of the children in year 5 and we have really become our own little team. I hope you all have a fantastic week ...
Year 5 have now come to the end of our school literacy unit on the book ‘and tango makes three’, it has been so refreshing to read such a wide range of wonderful work that they have all created. I’m certainly very proud of the narratives that they have all written independently this week. I think I have a some future authors sitting right in front of me!
We have also been discussing in class about the importance of keeping safe when online and looked heavily at e-safety. As a class we explored the mystical land of ‘interland’, which helped ...
Year 5 set the bar high this week with some fantastic hair do’s, teddy bear collections and some wacky clothes. We all manged to break the rules in some way today which was a great way to end the week. Although we had some crazy moments today, the children have produced once again some fantastic work across the curriculum this week. It is so lovely to see all the progress they have made in such a small amount of time.
We are looking forward to our ART week next week in school and have got plenty of fun and engaging ...
This week the children celebrated and took part in National Poetry Day on Thursday 7th October. As part of our new literacy unit ‘The Wolves in the Wall’, children learnt and performed a range of different poems all about ‘Wolves’. Every member of the class embraced this opportunity and did a fantastic job at bringing poetry to life. I wouldn’t be surprised to see some of their own poems in a poetry books one day!
The children are continuing to work so hard every week and I’m so proud of all the work that we have already produced. Both myself ...
