Welcome to Green Woodpeckers - Year 5!

Welcome to our class page!

We are excited to share with you how hard the children are working and how well they are demonstrating our Reydon learning behaviours. We will regularly be updating our class page with photographs of work, news, displays and more, so stay tuned and enjoy our learning journey.

Curriculum newsletters can also be found here on our class page as well as links to useful websites and resources to support your child's learning. Thank you for your continued support. If you need to speak to one of us regarding your child, we will be happy to organise a time with you at the end of the day.

The Year 5 team,

Mrs Thompson and Mrs Turner

Well, here we are at the end of the school year!

I am incredibly proud of how hard the children have worked - which is reflected in their wonderful class results!

I have really enjoyed teaching this group of children. They are lively, hilarious, up for anything, kind and thoughtful.

I will miss them a lot!

I wish all of you a very happy summer holiday and I wish every one of you a happy year 6!

The children had a fantastic time at the Royal Norfolk Show!!! 

They met all sorts of animals and tried out all sorts of sports. 

They came away with lots of freebies, and had a wonderful time in the food tent trying samples!!

Mrs T even met one of her heroes!

Have a look at our gallery, below.

  The children had a brilliant time performing their opera "The Feast That Went With A Bang!"

 Thank you so much to all parents who attended this fantastic event. The feedback I have had was that the performance was amazing!!!

Visit from Suffolk One Life

Today, Year 5 have been revisiting their knowledge of food groups and how to maintain a healthy diet. They worked really well together on a number of tasks designed to quiz them on their understanding and have been challenged to think about their own food choices. 

Weaving

Inspired by the Maya, the pupils have embarked on creating their own looms from cardboard. So far they have demonstrated great Relationships and Resilience in their approach to this Design and Technology challenge. We will keep you posted with their continuing progress as they move forward with their weaving. 

English- The Giant's Necklace

Today, Year 5 have been introduced to their new text, 'The Giant's Necklace'. They have listened to this finding tale and have discussed their opinions on this story. In pairs of small groups, they spent some time orally retelling the opening of this tale and have begun to add actions to help them to memorize this part of the text.
