Hello and welcome to our Year 5 page!

We had a fantastic end to our spring term, designing and making our own chocolate. We are excited to begin the summer term exploring our developing world. We have decided as a class to investigate the Ancient Egyptians to find out what our world was like in the past.

Religious Education

Our current topic is Pentecost-serving. We will be learning about the Christian belief that God is active in each person. It is the work of the spirit to enable people to hear God's message, to respond and share it. The feast of Pentecost is a celebration of the gift of God's spirit and its transforming power.
