Welcome to Wren Class! We are the Wonderful Wrens! We are a hardworking, kind and caring class and we cannot wait to start our learning adventure in Year 5.
In Year 5, we try very hard to make the correct learning and behaviour choices. We collect house points and marbles when we demonstrate our school values. As a class, we have decided what we want our rewards to be. Take a look at what we are aiming for!

Our Teacher - Miss Higginbottom Hello I am Miss Higginbottom and I am so excited to be teaching Year 5 this year! Before coming to St. Mary's, I studied Primary Education with QTS at Canterbury Christ Church University and graduated in 2020. In my free time, I love watching sunsets and sunrises with my friends and family whilst exploring new places! Our class book

Stanley Yelnats is under a curse. A curse that began with his no-good-dirty-rotten-pig-stealing-great-great-grandfather and has since followed generations of Yelnatses. Now Stanley has been unjustly sent to a boys’ detention center, Camp Green Lake, where the boys build character by spending all day, every day digging holes exactly five feet wide and five feet deep. There is no lake at Camp Green Lake. But there are an awful lot of holes.
It doesn’t take long for Stanley to realize there’s more than character improvement going on at Camp Green Lake. The boys are digging holes because the warden is looking for something. But what could be buried under a dried-up lake? Stanley tries to dig up the truth in this inventive and darkly humorous tale of crime and punishment—and redemption.

Eureka!
This term our project is called Eureka! It encompasses English, Science and DT.
In English, as writers we will working towards writing our own film review based on the film Hugo directed by Marin Scorsese and inspired by the book, The invention of Hugo Cabret by Brian Selznick.
We will then write a diary entry from the perspective of Hugo in response to his father’s death. We will develop our use of emotive language and word types to show to the reader that Hugo’s mind is troubles and unclear.
We will then write our own flashback chapter based on Hugo’s experience of living with his uncle after his father’s death. As writers, we will develop our skills to include dialogue that conveys character and advances the action in this flashback chapter.

As scientists, we will be developing their knowledge and understanding of forces around them and how they interact with each other on objects.
We will explore light, understanding that light appears in straight lines and how it interacts with the eye in order to be seen. We will then use the idea of light to explain why shadows have the same shape as the objects that cast them.
Following this, we will then explore electricity and how electricity controls artificial light sources by creating our own circuit and developing it to alter the brightness of a lamp.
As designers, we will be understanding and exploring electrical and mechanical systems. We will explore how to control simple circuits to create more functional products. We will discuss the current issues with the need to recycle and the environmental issues linked to not recycling. We will create, following a step by step plan, to make our final prototype of our innovative solution to encourage young children to recycle.
