  • BBC Live Lessons - 500 words!

    Published 30/09/26, by Joe Bannister

    Today, Year 5 watched and completed a Live Lesson from the BBC!

    As a class, we were able to explore what makes a memorable character, transformed personal ideas into original story creations and discovered how a simple “what if?” question can unlock exciting plot possibilities!

    We also listened to previous storytelling tips from past 500 Words finalists! The lesson provided the children with lots of confidence to plan and write a story!

    This year, entries open from Tuesday 29 September and will close at 9pm, Friday 6 November.

    We look forward to hearing your completed stories, Year 5!

  • History - Marvellous Mayans

    Published 27/09/26, by Joe Bannister

    For our first History unit, Year 5 have made a great start on the Mayans!

    We have discovered where they lived, what they invented and how their legacy lives on today! We have even identified how their Aztec design and pattern, is popular with the fashion we see today!

    As a class, we have been so impressed how they made roads, all those years ago and especially with the tools that they had at their disposal. 

    As a group, we are looking forward to the rest of the unit!

  • Water Safety!

    Within Year 5 today, the class gained an understanding of water safety and how we should behave around water, especially with the holidays approaching.

    We discussed how to be safe and how to conduct ourselves alongside our younger siblings or family relatives, when we are around water in parks or swimming pools. 

    We watched an informative and educational video from CBBC Newsround to support our learning, whilst also creating informative posters to showcase our learning!
