Welcome to Year 5
Welcome to Year 5 at Norris Bank Primary School!

Meet the Team
Our teaching team includes Mrs McIvor (Class Teacher) and Mrs Doe (Class Teacher and KS2 Phase Leader)
Our Bookshelf
Here are a few of our Norris Bank recommended reads for September:
- Death Sets Sail by Robin Stevens
- Worst. Holiday. Ever. by Charlie Higson
- The Highland Falcon Thief by M. G. Leonard and Sam Sedgman
- The 13-Storey Treehouse by Andy Griffiths
These books are available at our school library, or one of the Stockport libraries. Another brilliant reading resource is the ‘Borrowbox’ app, which is free with a Stockport library membership. It is like a free version of ‘Audible’ where hundreds of children’s audiobooks or eBooks can be downloaded.
Residentials & Trips
As part of their Geography learning, our Year 5 children will be taking part in an extended day visit to explore coastal environments and deepen their understanding of the coast. During the visit, children will carry out geographical fieldwork, investigate the physical and human features of coastal areas and learn about the important work of organisations that help to keep people safe along our coastline. This exciting opportunity will bring learning to life and allow children to develop their geographical knowledge through first-hand experience.
