Welcome to
Welcome to 5 O’Brien. We are named after Vanessa O’Brien who is a British and American mountaineer. Vanessa became the first woman to reach Earth’s highest and lowest points, receiving a Guinness World Record in 2020.
Our teacher is called Mrs Robinson and our teaching assistant is Miss Ali. They encourage us to be resilient, independent, and ambitious in our learning, enabling us to be the best version of ourselves.
We always show great perseverance and are proud Greenmountaineers, striving to climb the mountain to success.
Welcome to
Year 5 Hughes
Welcome to 5 Hughes. Our class is named after the inspirational mountaineer Mollie Hughes. Mollie was the youngest women to climb both sides of Mount Everest and the youngest women to ski to the South Pole. She fell in love with mountaineering at the age of 17 when she climbed Mount Kenya on a school expedition.
Here, in class 5 Hughes, we aim to demonstrate the same qualities Mollie has shown in her adventures. We may not climb Mount Everest but we do have our own mountain to climb with the help from Mrs Redshaw (teacher) and Miss Ali (teaching assistant). We share many of the same qualities as Mollie – Confidence, Learning, Independence, Motivation and Belief – and we will take the children in 5 Hughes on a learning adventure to summit year 5. Follow the adventures of 5 Hughes on twitter and watch them in their journey and reach their potential as Greenmountaineers.
