Year 5 – Oak & Maple
We are delighted to welcome you to our Y5 Team page. This space is a great way for us to share snapshots of your child’s learning journey in a way we hope will be both celebratory and informative. We’ll give you a taster of our curriculum and what we plan to cover – term by term. At Parkdale, we are also committed to Active Learning. Children are encouraged to be physically active as part of, and between, their learning sessions. Look out for letters, reminders and anything else we think will be useful by scrolling down to the Y5 Information and Documents tabs. Finally, and most importantly, enjoy the photos of your children learning, creating, achieving and having fun in Y5.

Reception’s Outdoor Learning Area
We are aware that Reception's outdoor learning (and play) area is looking a bit jaded of late. It is supposed to look a bit wild and natural, but it could still do with a bit of TLC and maintenance. With staffing shortages as they are, we've just been...
