Welcome to the Year 5 Class Page! 

We are an incredible team of children, taught by Miss Devanney and Miss Clarke!

In Year 5 we always try our hardest to be fabulous role models for our school, especially the younger children. We approach our learning with a huge eagerness, always striving to be our best, keeping a positive mindset and never giving up! 

What was the Golden Age of Islam and how did Baghdad compare to London in 900CE?

During the 7th to 11th centuries, Baghdad stood as the dazzling heart of the Islamic Golden Age, a city where science, art, and culture flourished like never before. The Abbasid Caliphate transformed the Middle East into a beacon of knowledge and innovation. The city’s legendary House of Wisdom became a hub for translating ancient texts and advancing mathematics, astronomy, and medicine, while markets buzzed with spices, silk, and precious metals. This was a time when the Middle East was not just a region—it was the world's intellectual and cultural crossroads!

We cannot wait to see what journey the rest of this academic year takes us on and what experiences we have together!

Reading!

It is so important to keep up the level of reading you do in school at home. When you have read at home and get your record signed by an adult you can collect stickers on our class chart! The more stickers you get, the more chance of some amazing prizes! Also, a Reader of the Week certificate is up for grabs! What an achievement!
