This week in Cornwall 5

Week beginning 13th July 2026

Dear parents and carers,

We can't believe that there are only 3 and a half days left in Year 5 before we say goodbye to Cornwall and all you amazing parents and carers. We have been very lucky to have had such supportive and caring parents, so thank you for helping to make this year run smoothly.

In English this week, (as we approach the end of our class text, Pax) the children have found out how Pax  is growing deeply attached to the other foxes in the wild. We also learn how Peter thinks thoughtfully about Vola's lessons and the true, uncounted human and emotional costs of war. With this in mind, the children were asked to plan and write a narrative prediction about how they think the book will end.

In Maths, we have come to the end of our topic on converting units and we will begin our short topic on volume tomorrow, finishing next week. This will be a very hands-on unit which we think the children will really enjoy!

Please can we remind you to ask your children to apply sun cream before coming to school and to bring their sunhats and water bottles.

On Friday (our KS2 Sport's Day) please remind your children to get dressed in their continent t-shirt colour and wear their trainers to school. Water bottles will be carried around with us during the morning. We look forward to seeing many of you on Friday.

Thank you and have a wonderful week.

Mrs Nash, Mrs McGinley and Mrs Walker.
