Welcome to Pine - Year 5!

Autumn Term

This week, as part of our Science unit on animals and their habitats, Year 5 have created artificial mini habitats for the worms we charmed. We will be observing and monitoring our worms over the coming term.

On Thursday 26th September, we embraced the 23rd European Languages day with gusto! Greeting each other in different languages, learning and locating European countries, sharing our own experiences of different places, and learning a song in French were particular highlights. 

Greek Day - On the last day of term, we enjoyed putting our learning of Ancient Greeks into practice. We dressed up, made clay pots, designed headdresses influenced by Greek Gods and Goddesses and topped our wonderful Greek  experience off with a feast of flavours.

Computing - Our computing lessons are off to a flying start, quite literally, as we have designed a game to catch the flying food in our coding lessons.

Brain Buddies - We have started our Brain Buddies sessions, which are teaching us how our brain works and how we can help ourselves look after our mental well-being. 

Spring Term

This term, we have enjoyed consolidating our knowledge of Space by recreating the planets in order of size and distance from sun. We were wonderfully creative with our natural resources!

In history, we listened intently to Mrs Samuel’s account of her time working in Elsenham jam factory, which made some of the most expensive jam in the world during the 80s. We loved hearing how the jam was made by hand and how the factory was rebuilt after a fire.

Year 5 shine at Young Voices 2025

Our Year 5 students had an unforgettable experience at the 02 Arena where they sang as part of a choir of over 8700 children! With special guests MC Grammar and Tommy Blaize, the event was full of energy, excitement and incredible music. The children sang their hearts out and had an amazing time- What a fantastic opportunity to be part of something so special!
