Year 5 Sleepover
Year 5 had their annual sleepover on Friday night. The children had a great time playing outside, making pizzas and watching a film. We all slept in the Hall and had a yummy breakfast of cereal and/or bacon rolls. Their behaviour was amazing and we were very proud of them.
Poetry Recital
Year 5 held a poetry recital for their parents. They had written a number of poems about themselves and the place in which they live – Great Yarmouth. The children chose their favourite poem, learnt it off by heart and recited it in front of their audience – they were all amazing!
Rock climbing wall
To celebrate National Sports Week, the school had a visit from a rock climbing wall. The children had an amazing time and surpassed the heights they thought they would be able to get to. One Year 5 child said, “I didn’t think that I’d be able to go up but I tried and I reached […]

Year 5 at Whitlingham
Year 5 had a great day at Whitlingham Adventure. The children took part in water-based skills, through working in teams on both paddle boards and katakanus (two canoes which have been joined together). All of the children, most of whom had not experienced a real-life water-based situation before, were incredibly brave by trying these activities […]
Big School Workout
The school took part in the ‘Big School Workout’, lead by Joe Wicks, as part of Mental Health Week. This was to promote the use of physical activity to help people to manage their mental health and there were lots of smiles both during and after the activity!
Great Yarmouth School’s Music Association
Great Yarmouth School’s Music Association arranged for our Year 5 children to participate in a singing workshop with local singer and musician Zoe Ramsden, who has previously worked in both the U.K. and Brazil. She led the children through some songs and they learnt how to sing in rounds. When the children sang their final version, […]
Football Skills Workshop
We hosted a free-style football skills workshop, led by a Guiness World Record holder, Jamie Knight. The children attended an assembly where they saw Jamie perform his world-class level skills, and heard his inspirational story. Throughout the day, the children had an opportunity to practise some of these skills in workshops.
