Thank you, Y5 for such an enjoyable World Book Day 2026! You looked great in your costumes or dressed in something that made you unique! In class, we focused on the book Perfectly Norman , by Tom Percival. We created story maps, to practice our sequencing events skills and made emoji maps that tracked the emotions and feelings of characters throughout the book.

As we celebrate national science week next week, Y5 have been busy preparing their projects ready to take to a showcasing event at Standish Community High School. The theme of science week this year is 'curiosity'. We have been set a space themed task where we have to protect the 'astronauts' in our landing craft by creating a shock-absorbing system for our lander. Well done, Y5, you were extremely resourceful!

Y5 had a wonderful time at the Liverpool World Museum. We visited the permanent ancient Egypt exhibition where we saw: mummies, 'shabti' statues and other amazing artefacts from ancient Egypt. In our mummification workshop, we all took part in 'mummifying' a body and learned about the reasons behind many of the rituals of mummification. We also had chance to visit the aquarium and space exploration floors!
