Year 5
Welcome to Year 5!
2020-21
We are very much looking forward to the year ahead. There are lots of things to be excited about. Hopefully, there will be little disruption and we can get on and enjoy the year together.
.We look forward to working to the best of our ability and being a good disciple, in line with our Gospel Values.
Our Catholic Faith is very important to us, and in Year 5 we strive to ensure that we live out our Mission every day. We participate in assemblies, as well as celebrating in class worship and whole school Masses.
In our classrooms you will find a happy learning environment where all children are encouraged and engaged in their learning in order to reach their full potential.

5SS had a lovely afternoon learning all about the tradition of the Jesse Tree. We created our own ornaments, which depict stories from the Bible up until the birth of Christ. We also created an Advent calendar to help us count down the days until Christmas.
