Year 5
Welcome to Mrs Budgett's Year 5 class page. We are a class of 27 children. Along with Mrs Budgett, we work with two teaching assistants, Mrs Woodcock and Mrs Elliott. In our classroom our favourite area is the relaxing Calm Corner where we can read one of our many fabulous books, complete a puzzle, have time for Spirituality, say or write a prayer/ message to someone or just use a space for group work.
We work in mixed ability groups so that we can help and support each other with our learning. We are encouraged to set an example to our younger children by being helpful, kind and demonstrating our six school values at every opportunity.

It’s Time To Stroodlise!
Year 5 has been learning about persuasive adverts in English, with eco-friendly themed products. We looked at the product, Stroodles – edible tableware, and Mr Good bought a selection of their products to try out at lunchtime. We enjoyed the pasta straws, but weren’t so sure about the edible plates.
Year 5 Whitlingham Trip
Year 5 thoroughly enjoyed their visit to Whitlingham Adventure as they participated in paddleboarding, sailing and rock climbing. It was a long awaited trip as Year 5 suffered the effects of lockdown, having missed out on their residential and other trips. It was lovely to watch the children learning new skills, challenging themselves and encouraging … Read more
