Saffron

Welcome to Year 5 and Team Saffron 2025/26

Your teacher is Miss Summers

Your teaching assistants are Mrs Archer and Mrs Brewster

This week in English we wrote our own story, ‘The Elephants in the Walls’. We used a range of conjunctions, some fronted adverbials as well as relative clauses and some dialogue. In Maths, we will be revised using formal addition and subtraction skills and will added and subtracted large numbers and decimal numbers.

In RE this week, we learnt about the key features of synagogues and in PSHE, we learnt about well-being and looked at ways we can manage our well-being and build resilience. In Computing, we used Coding to create a football related game and in History, we discovered what life in an Anglo Saxon village was like and what sort of jobs they did back then. In PE this week, we practised our long distance running, in preparation for the cross country event at Adeyfield School.

Next week in English, we will start our Mystery and Suspense Unit and will read the book, ‘The Watertower’. We will explore how authors create suspense and we will write from a character’s point of view in a diary entry. In Maths, we will be solving addition and subtraction problems relating to the formal column method.

Have a great weekend!

This term, Saffron's PE days are Tuesday and Wednesday. Swimming will start next half term for Saffron.
