September

Welcome back to a brand-new year at Jarrow Cross. All the staff in Year 5 would like to give a huge welcome to our new classes and their families as you all join us in this fresh new chapter. 

The children arrived looking fantastic in their new uniforms and certainly appear to be ready to learn, smile and explore the Year 5 curriculum with us. We began the term with a whole school book, ''Our Class is a Family'', which we enjoyed reading and used as a stimulus for a range of writing and drawing tasks. 

For the rest of the term, we will travel back in time to the 1600 where we will be digging deep into disease, politics and disaster. We have already started our class book ''Fire Fire'' by Stuart Hill which depicts the tragedy of The Great Fire of London in an exciting and dramatic tale. A tale which we hope will inspire our own budding authors this year in English.
