Year 5

Year 5 visited Egremont library to choose a book. They read the blurb to find out what the book was about to help them decide whether to choose it or not. If they were putting a book back they learnt the importance of placing it back with the spine facing out. They checked their books out then…

Year 5 braved the wet weather this week to either walk the whole or part of the way to school in order to take part in Active Feet First. They were all rewarded with a high viz slap band.

Year 5 have been learning lots of different ways to balance during their gymnastics lessons. They have been practicing the tripod balance in preparation for completing a full headstand.

A huge well done to all our Y5 and 6’s who ran a mile with Gary McKee in the torrential rain! Gary aka Marathon Man is running a marathon every single day for a whole year to raise money for Hospice at home and McMillan Cancer Support. The children were blown away by the resilience and stamina…

Year 5 have been learning how to play the Ukulele this year. They have learnt how to read music and were able to perform a selection of songs to the rest of the school. Everyone enjoyed listening to them.

Year 5 enjoyed their trip to the library to change their books. Many children opted for non- fiction books this time and they were keen to get started with reading them.

Year 5 enjoyed putting all the skills they have learnt over the last half term in athletics into practice in a mini class tournament. They did the triple long jump, standing long jump, hurdles, javelin and relays. They all had a great time cheering in their team mates. 
 

KS2 had a fantastic time on their end of year trip in the Lost Fort at Lowther Castle.

Year 5 and 6 had a fantastic morning with KidzFit. They learnt all about how our bodies work and the benefits of regular exercise. They learnt how to skip, hoopla-hoop and how to improve their co-ordination and balance. We finished off with some relaxing yoga. 
 

Year 5 had a great time at Sports Day today. They put all the skills they have been learning throughout the year in PE into practice. It was lovely to see everyone joining in and encouraging their team mates. Well done to the Red Team for winning! ⭐️
 

Year 5 enjoyed participating in lots of different sports during National School Sports Week. They did gymnastics, cricket, mile-a-day, active playtimes and even took part in the Big Skip. What a busy week they had!

We had a great time at Whitehaven Cricket Ground playing in a tournament against six other schools. We enjoyed putting all the skills we have learnt in PE into practice and taking part in such a great event.
