Year 5 Book Club
Year 5 have been celebrating reading in a weekly book club: Keep reading and sharing, what will you choose next? Here are some suggestions.
Y4, Y5 and Y6 Panathlon Bowling
We were lucky to be invited to take two teams of children to attend the Panathlon Games Ten-Pin Bowling competition. Our children had a fantastic time at the event, with our Y5 and Y6 team finishing seventh overall (out of 24 teams). The medals we received are lovely! Thanks to the folks at Panathlon and […]
Tag Rugby
Year 5 have started to play tag rugby. They are actually building on skills they developed in Year 3 and 4. It really shows from the first lessons they were understanding the tricky concepts and putting their teamwork into practice. I antipate a few stars in the next World Cup, or the one after that!
Start of our the Y5 Fantastic Voyage
Y5H Denmark and Y5P Germany have had a brilliant start to the 2023-24 academic year. Our first learning journey I called Fantastic Voyage and this is an accurate description of the children’s adventure in year 5 so far. As part of their Learning journey we have:
Y5 Veg Patch – Harvest Time
Y5 have been harvesting their produce and using it to create a tasty end of term meal. The children harvested, cleaned, peeled and chopped the variety of vegetables and herbs that we have grown this year and used these to cook a tasty meal of roast veg, couscous, salad leaves and feta cheese.

Y4 & Y5 Phoenix Kids Triathlon (Brownlee Foundation)
Our skilled team of 111 (!) Y4 and Y5 children took part in the Sheffield round of the Phoenix Kids Triathlon at Springs Leisure Centre and Springs Academy. The event was a fantastic introduction to triathlons, with children swimming 50m, cycling 800m and running 300m, all without stopping for a break or to change into […]
Sheffield Schools’ Swimming Gala
On the same evening as our Sports Day, our team of 14 swimmers and our amazing team manager (in the black and white shirt), managed to summon up enough energy to put in some fantastic performances at the annual (returning this year after a covid enforced absence) Sheffield Schools’ Swimming Gala. All events were relay […]

All of Y5 got a chance to practise using the site’s top-flight training areas and compete against other local schools in individual games. This allowed the children to apply their PE learning from the past half-term and to build on the skills that […]
