Wombat Class

Welcome to Wombat Class!

Miss Thompson and Mrs Crowhurst are excited to be working with the wisdom of wombats in Year 5. Get ready for a year packed full of adventure and memories. We will be venturing into the Amazon Rainforest together, travelling back in time to England in 1939. We take part in the annual residential to Bude in Cornwall. Being kind, working collaboratively and listening to one other is really important in Wombat Class as well as our school values of empathy, responsibility, bravery and resilience.

Here are our 5 favourite Wombat facts:

1. Wombat’s can sleep for around 16 hours a day.
2. The name of the two species of wombat is the ‘Northern Hairy-nosed’ and the ‘Southern Hairy-nosed.’
3. They have cube-shaped poo.
4. They are a protected species in Australia.
5. They normally waddle but can run at 40 kph.

Otter Class

Welcome to Otter Class!

Join Miss Dabb and Miss Pack as we dive into a year of exploration and discovery in Otter Class. This year, we’ll sharpen our mathematical minds, and expand and enhance our vocabulary. In Year 5, we strive to be resilient and responsible, growing into hardworking, kind, and empathetic individuals.

Our learning journey will take us deep into the Amazon Rainforest, through the flow of rivers from source to sea, and into the fascinating world of energy. In History, we’ll travel back in time to uncover the secrets of the Mayans, witness the drama of the Tudor Monarchs, and empathise with those who lived through WWII.

We’re excited for swimming lessons, our adventurous trip to Bude, where we’ll face challenges head-on. With curiosity and teamwork, Otter Class is ready to have an otterly amazing year!
