SPACE!

Welcome to Year 5. We hope you are all looking forward to an exciting year ahead! We will be starting this year off by blasting off into space to study the solar system during our science learning. In geography we will be researching biomes across the country and wondering "Why can't a polar bear survive in the Sahara desert?" Our art learning will also be spaced themed when we look at the artwork of Peter Thorpe and create our very own paintings of rocket ships. 

We are also extremely excited for our visit to Sheffield Lyceum theatre to attend a performance of "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe - keep your eyes peeled for a letter coming very soon with more details about that.

We cannot wait to get started this year and hope that you and your child enjoy what we have planned!
