Year 5 Following Jesus: My journey of Faith and Kindness

For an RE homework project, children were asked to create a project about their journey in Faith. They needed to provide examples of how they have shown kindness, patience and forgiveness, and talk about a gospel story that inspires them. Look below to see how we plan to live out our Mission

Go For Gold

Year 5 have been getting tactical with their rugby skills over the last few weeks; focusing on passing, catching, interception and scrum. Take a look at our photos 

Year 5 Presents..... MATILDA

Drawing from their guided reading text, Matilda – The Musical, Year 5 pupils worked collaboratively to bring their own version of the beloved story to life. They choreographed original dance routines, designed and built stage props, sang their hearts out to iconic songs, and embraced every aspect of theatre production. Their hard work culminated in a vibrant performance that they shared with their families, who were invited to attend for a small donation. Through this, the children proudly raised over £150 for Father Hudson’s charity, showcasing not only their artistic talents but also their generosity and community spirit.

Welcome to Year 5 23-24!

Year 5 Vehicle outcome 2024- SpaceMallows!

Year 5, have been working incredibly hard this term to produce an amazing fact file about our Solar System. The children made their own SpaceMallow teddies (with the help from the brilliant Mrs Gurman). They then used these SpaceMallows to create a presentation. We hope you enjoy it! 

Spring Term Vehicle 2023 - Marvellous Matilda

Inspired by Roald Dahl's book Matilda, Year 5 ended their vehicle with a showcase to parents all about their learning. After visits to see a performance of Matilda at Blessed William Howard High School in Stafford, and Painsley Catholic College in Cheadle, they produced fantastic work including character descriptions and persuasive letters. They also had the opportunity to compose a song called 'Magical Powers' with  professional musicians from Manchester Camerata. They performed this song alongside other schools across Staffordshire at the The Prince of Wales Theatre in Cannock.

Autumn Term Vehicle 2022

After a visit to The Lowry and studying his artwork, Year 5 used their brilliant art skills to produce fantastic coasters for the Crown Wharf in Stone. They visited the local brewery and were inspired by their History learning about the local area to create coasters all about Stone in the style of Lowry.

Year 5 took part in the Manchester Camerata performance at the Gatehouse Theatre on Monday 14th March. They composed and sang their own song based on the Roald Dahl book The Twits. They were absolutely amazing! Well done, Year 5.

Autumn Vehicle 2021

Our Autumn Term Vehicle, ‘All Aboard’ was looking at the History of Stone including the use of transport such as the canal system. After visiting the LS Lowry museum in Manchester, we created our very own Lowry paintings focusing on our local area. The children were incredibly excited to hear that their artwork has been entered into a competition to have their work displayed alongside Lowry’s work at the museum!

Yesterday, Year 5 achieved their vehicle outcome! Sarah from Worldwide Escapes came to speak to us about her travel agent business, and we presented her with the travel brochures we had produced as part of our English work this term. We may not have travelled, but we feel like we've definitely been 'Around the World'!

As part of their 'Around the World' vehicle, Year 5 have been learning about the Travel and Tourism Industry. They were visited by Dan, a helicopter pilot! They enjoyed hearing about the life of a pilot, the uses of helicopters, and learning when not to fly them.

They were very inspired and hope to have a ride in a helicopter one day!
