Year 5

Kidzania trip

The girls got to experience different careers when they visited Kidzania. It looks like we may have future surgeons, presenters and even police officers amongst Year 5.

Story writing workshop

Year 5 had a visit from author Catherine Bruton. Catherine wrote the bestselling book No Ballet Shoes in Syria. After sharing her own writing process and where she finds her inspiration, Catherine encouraged the girls to put pen to paper and draft their own stories. The girls thoroughly enjoyed the visit, and were brimming with ideas for their own books!

Isle of Wight residential

For their residential trip, Year 5 visited the Isle of Wight.

A visit to Wimbledon Mosque

Miss Gay took Year 5 on a visit to our local mosque. After a talk and a tour from the Imam, the girls soaked up the calm and quiet atmosphere and reflected on their learning about Islam.

Celebrating black poets

During Black History Month, Year 5 performed poetry from black and mixed heritage poets.

A special mention to Amy whose entry into the Young Geographer of the Year competition was highly commended.
