Year 5 - Sycamore
NOTICE: DETAILS FOR THE SUMMER BREAK
It’s important for children to rest and recharge over the summer holidays. But whether you’re taking a trip or staying home, there are lots of ways you can encourage your child to practise their reading, writing and communication skills over the long break. This will help children boost their literacy skills over the holidays, and prevent the learning loss that can happen when they’re not at school.
There are also countless opportunities to incorporate maths into the summer break. Here are some tips for parents that may prove useful:
04/06/2018 - SUMMER 2
I can't believe it's our final half term already and what a jam packed, action filled, exhilarating 7 weeks it is going to be!!!
Not only will we be writing our own manifestos to apply for the position of Child Mayor of Leeds but we will be uncovering the wonders Yorkshire has to hold through lots of outdoor learning. Can we save this beautiful county? I'm sure we can! 
On top of this we have our fabulous class residential to Lineham Farm, the KS2 performance and our transition mornings to show we are ready for Year 6!
It's all go in Year 5, both myself and Mrs Gall are excited and I know Year 5 will love it!
Keep checking this page for updates of photos and engaging learning opportunities!
The count down has begun!

“Sunshine, lollipops and Year 5’s smiling faces! La la la la lalalala la we’re together!
I can honestly say that the sunshine has created a fantastic welcome back feeling for all the staff and pupils!
With some relaxing, some exciting and some unusual Easter holidays, Year 5 have returned refreshed and ready to challenge themselves! We have hit the ground running with some super Anglo Saxon work (Miss Taylor even grew a beard for a day), some fabulous data and line graph work and a sneaky child made cheat guide for writing! We displayed some amazing GPV skills this week, which is excellent news as we are all working towards becoming published authors by the end of this half term.
Keep up the hard work Year 5! I love it!
SPRING IS IN THE AIR!!!!

Miss Taylor can't wait to get started... now all she needs is Year 5 back in school with pens in hand!
