Please encourage your child/children with their home reading and talk with them about the stories they are reading and the characters that they may come across.

We love PE!
In Year 5 we love to be active, take a look at some of the fun activities we've taken part in so far this year:
Feeling Festive!
Leyland Local History
Year 5 have thoroughly enjoyed learning about the history of our local area through online research, books and old photographs. They even braved the elements to go exploring, following a map from 1938 and making comparisons with a 2024 version of the same route. They visited sites such as the old Police Station and Leyland Market to see how they have changed over time.
Cultural Week - Mexico!
Our theme for cultural week was Mexico, and we explored the language, food, dance and traditions of this wonderful country!
Day 1 - This was ‘nacho’ average lesson! Our year fives got a real flavour for Mexican culture when they made their very own salsa to go with their nachos!
Day 2 - Fiesta fever! The afternoon was spent moving and grooving to traditional Mariachi music! (Check out our video below).
Day 3 - Mexican Alebrijes (spirit animals). They are a colourful combination of two different animals that represent their personality, for example a cat means independence and freedom, while a dog means loyalty and protection. Can you work out what combination of animals our class have created?
Day 4 - La Bamba Rehearsals! Mexico is the largest Spanish speaking country in the world, so we learnt the whole of La Bamba in Spanish.
Day 5 - Performance Time! We showcased all the fun we had during the week and then performed our song (with instruments) in front of the whole school and lots of parents!

Fiesta fever took over the year fives today, as they spent their afternoon moving and grooving to traditional Mariachi music!
