Welcome to our Year 5 page. My name is Mr Musgrave and I am the class teacher. 

I am supported by 2 Learning Support Assistants, Mr Eiaise and Miss Mark.

In Year 5 we learn to give things a go and not feel worried when we make mistakes. We always try our best and are respectful to everyone. We understand we are getting older and are starting to be role models for the rest of the school. Our library day is Tuesday. We can sit and read in the library and borrow a book every week. We have many opportunities to read for pleasure.

Anthony Walker Foundation

The Anthony Walker Foundation returned to our class to deliver workshops that build on our ongoing efforts to promote anti-racism. During these sessions, we explored important topics such as equality, diversity, and the impact of discrimination, helping to deepen our understanding. Our school prides itself on being an inclusive and welcoming community, where everyone is valued and treated with dignity and respect.

DT

We searched the internet for specific information and analysed different search engines for their effectiveness.

We practised a variety of camera angles and selected which angle would be the most suitable for a scenario.

In gymnastics, we made symmetrical patterns to help develop our balance and stability and we made asymmetrical patterns to make us look more creative.

Big Little Library

We visited the Big Little Library run by Gateacre School in Belle Vale. We had a lovely afternoon browsing the books and choosing a selection to take home and keep. Some of us donated some of our own books in exchange for new ones.

Liverpool World Museum and Walker Art Gallery

We went to the Liverpool World Museum, where we had the chance to examine a fascinating collection of Ancient Greek artifacts, including pottery, sculptures, and everyday items that offered a glimpse into ancient Greek life and culture. Afterward, we visited the Walker Art Gallery, where we were told about Greek myths and legends. Surrounded by beautiful paintings, we listened to stories that brought the art to life.

Computing

We used FMS Logo to create shapes and geometric patterns

Science

We took over the staffroom to observe how some materials change state when they are heated or cooled.

  

We explored different ways of sorting and classifying animals using their characteristics.
