Chestnut 2024 - 2025

Welcome to Team Chestnut

In Year 5, we embark on an exciting journey of learning and discovery. Our classroom is a place where curiosity is encouraged, and every student is valued. We explore a wide range of subjects, from fascinating science experiments to creative writing projects. Our goal is to develop critical thinking skills, foster a love for reading, and build strong friendships. We also enjoy fun activities like residential trips, art projects, and sports. Together, follwing the school values of 'Ready, Safe, Respect', we strive to create a supportive and engaging environment where everyone can thrive. Let’s make this year unforgettable.

Our classroom is a lively and engaging space designed to foster a love for learning. As you enter, you’ll be greeted by our working walls. These walls are dynamic displays that showcase key concepts, vocabulary, and student work from our current topics. They serve as a constant reference and inspiration for our lessons, helping students to visualise and remember important information. In one corner, you’ll find our book nook. This inviting area is filled with a diverse selection of books, ranging from thrilling adventures to informative non-fiction. With comfy cushions and bean bags, it’s the perfect spot for students to relax and dive into a good book. For our maths lessons, we have a variety of practical tools readily available. These include concrete resources like counters, base ten blocks, and fraction tiles, which help students to understand mathematical concepts through hands-on learning. In our literacy area, you’ll find resources such as word walls, spelling aids, and writing prompts to encourage creative and structured writing. Our classroom is designed to be a supportive and stimulating environment where every student can thrive.
