A warm welcome to the Year 5, Class 5B webpage! We are so excited to journey through this academic year together, guided by our 'Aspire' core values of aspiration, service, peace, integrity, resilience and excellence and enjoyment. Our class is led by Miss Brennan, ably supported by our wonderful Teaching Assistant, Miss Kemp. In 5B, we strive to create a welcoming and supportive environment, treating one another with dignity as we learn, grow, and serve. We look forward to watching your child shine as they use their God-given talents. Please check this page for updates and celebrations of the wonderful work happening in our classroom!

PE Days:

We are Scientists!

We investigated how people grow by measuring the hand spans of people of different ages. We compared our results to see whether hand span changes as children get older. This experiment helped us understand that all children grow and develop, and that growth can be measured in different ways, such as height, weight, and hand span.

We are Climate Ambassadors!

Getting hands-on for a cleaner community!

We were out in action doing a litter pick to do our bit for the environment. It’s all part of our exciting environmental project with Liverpool City Council which includes an exciting trip to the Gillmoss Recycling Discovery Centre demonstrating our commitment to living sustainably and caring for God's creation. 

We are Mathematicians 

Look at these little mathematicians floating right into success! We’ve been mastering the balloon method for rounding numbers. Here’s the secret we live by in class:

• 0 through 4? The balloon stays right on the floor (no change/round down)!

• 5 and above? Let that balloon soar up into the sky (round up)!

Seeing the visual of a balloon lifting off makes rounding so much easier to remember.
