What a fantastic first full week we had in Year 5! The children settled in brilliantly and enjoyed getting to know their new classroom, routines and expectations. We spent time discussing how we can make our classroom a happy, safe and positive place to learn. Together, we agreed on our class charter, which everyone signed to show their commitment to following our shared expectations and treating each other with kindness and respect.

We also got creative by producing some wonderful self-portraits as part of a whole-school art project. The children worked carefully to capture their own unique features and personalities, showing fantastic creativity and attention to detail. Alongside this, we completed a short piece of writing, giving everyone the opportunity to show off their writing skills. It was a busy but enjoyable first week, and it was lovely to see the children settling in, building friendships and approaching their learning with such enthusiasm. A brilliant start to Year 5!
