Year 5 - Mr Brown

Welcome to the Year 5 Class Page

It's Pentecost Term! 

With one more term to go it's safe to say that Year 5 have had a fantastic year so far.

The children have worked hard in all subjects and with lots of things to look forward to in Pentecost Term such as: composing music in Computing, narrative writing in English and exploring our universe and solar system in Science there is still so much for Year 5 to enjoy this year!

We're very excited to see all that the children achieve this term!

Our Current Whole Class Reading book:

Kensuke's Kingdom by Michael Morpurgo.

We will be reading this book together as a class as practicing our VIPERS reading skills together.

"Washed up on an island in the Pacific, Michael struggles to survive on his own. With no food and no water, he curls up to die. When he wakes, there is a plate beside him of fish, of fruit, and a bowl of fresh water. He is not alone . . ."

Our Current Reading For Pleasure Book:

Fantastically Great Women Artists and Their Stories by Kate Pankhurst

"Over half of all the visual artists working today are women, but the paintings and sculptures shown in many galleries and museums tell a different story because they're usually the work of men.

- Express your feelings and find your identity through art with Frida Kahlo
- Run away to the circus and paint with Laura Knight
