Welcome

Welcome to our Year 5 class page! Your teachers this year will be Mrs Cole, Mrs Fearn and Mrs Lester. In year 5, we will be preparing you for the move up to your final year at Cayton. We will be working hard in Year 5 and having lots of fun learning about our world, how we can be the best that we can be, and all the fun topics that we will be learning about this year. If you work hard and put in the best efforts you can, and strive to be a great ambassador of the school, we can assure you that you will be rewarded and really see the benefits throughout the year. Our hopes for you this year are lasting happy memories of school, amazing friendships that can never be broken, the confidence to tackle new challenges head on and the independence that is needed as you journey through life. We cannot wait to see what the year ahead brings and we are really looking forward to sharing all these precious moments with you.

Class Novel

Ada has lived close to the great rainforest for her whole life, helping her beloved Papa Eze to heal fello villagers when they fall sick. But when Papa Eze himself becomes ill, he knows he must tell Ada the truth about her real identity – something he has kept hidden to protect his daughter from danger. Ada must now travel deep into the forest and discover the ancient Edo kingdom of Benin, connect with her past and to use everything within her power to heal the terrible divisions that are tearing the kingdom apart. Pursued by those who want her dead, Ada sets off on an incredible journey which tests her strengths to their limit – with just her friends, the guidance of her ancestors and her own self-belief to help her.
