Year 5
Weekly Update - Friday 7th November 2025
Summary of this week:
Afternoon all,
I am pleased to say that the children have settled fantastically since coming back from half term. Looking ahead to next week, the children will be sitting their first round of NTS papers. This will follow the same format/routine as in previous years. Meanwhile, the children will also be taking part in an online workshop on Thursday led by children’s author, Michael Rosen. They will even get an opportunity to ask him questions as part of a Q&A. We hope you all have a safe, restful and enjoyable weekend.
Many thanks,
Mr Lowe
