This week has been packed with excitement, creativity, and exploration for Year 5! We’ve had some unforgettable experiences both in and out of the classroom.

Firstly, Year 5 set off on a thrilling geography trip around Warwick, hunting for the perfect film locations for a Harry Potter movie. The weather was crisp and cold, but we bundled up warmly and dived into the adventure with enthusiasm. From wide-open spaces and views of the river to the cobbled lanes, towering walls of the castle and the bustling centre of Warwick, the trip helped Year 5 see Warwick in a whole new light and reminded us how magical our local area can be!

Next, Year 5 had the chance to step into another magical world during our Christmas theatre trip to see Alice in Wonderland. The show was full of confusion and delight – we were completely immersed in Wonderland’s topsy-turvy adventures. Of course, no theatre trip would be complete without a treat, and Year 5 thoroughly enjoyed their ice creams during the interval!

Finally, back at school, Year 5 has been demonstrating fantastic learning attitudes and tackling a variety of subjects with determination:

• Swimming: Year 5 continues to make a splash as they work on improving their strokes and water confidence.
• Maths: Year 5 tackle fractions head-on with perseverance and teamwork.
• RE: Thought-provoking discussions about the representation of Jesus in the world have helped Year 5 engage with philosophical ideas and deepen their understanding.
• English: Year 5 are honing their writing skills as they explore informal and formal letters.
• DT: After completing their phenomenal banners, Year 5 learnt how to give and receive feedback through peer and self-assessment.

As the term draws to a near-close, Year 5 continues to amaze us with their creativity, enthusiasm, and dedication to learning.
