Year 5 is an inspiring but busy year, packed full of new opportunities to excel both in and out of the classroom.
Below you will find a class handbook relating to life in Year 5
We really love reading books that help us to explore different topics in all subjects, take us on journeys through new worlds and cultures and help us to build up our vocabulary. Our English curriculum follows a book-led approach, where children will read high quality texts to inspire creative writing. Throughout the year, we will study texts such as Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief, Nevermoor: The Trials of Morrigan Crow and Lewis Carroll's Jabberwocky poem. Reading is a passion of mine and I hope to develop this love of reading in all of the Y5 pupils.
Our mastery curriculum in maths explores key concepts in a variety of ways with plenty of challenge to promote deeper thinking and understanding.
We rely heavily on knowing our multiplication and related division facts, using and applying these skills to solve a wide range of problems throughout the Y5 maths curriculum - so plenty of practice on TT Rockstars is recommended.
This year, we will explore the world through our History and Geography topics, looking at Earth's different biomes, learning about the Ancient Greeks and the Romans.
We take every opportunity to develop our artistic talents through Art, Music and Design Technology which allow us to build and develop our crucial creativity and evaluative skills. As scientists, we enjoy finding out about other scientists and inventors and the impact that they have had on the world we know today. Our work through PSHE enables us to responsibly discuss key goals, dilemmas and scenarios and gives us the opportunity to offer mature solutions through respectful debate. Throughout the year, we will deepen our understanding of the Bible and how its principles can guide us in our daily lives helping to make us happier people.
This year our PE days will be Tuesday and Friday. We are asking that pupils come into school in their PE kits on their PE days - this should be a plain white t-shirt, black shorts and trainers. In the winter, pupils can wear a plain, black tracksuit over their PE kits to keep them warm. No football/rugby kits are allowed.
It is very important that you have your school reading diary with you every day and that you read five times per week to build and embed your fluency and comprehension. This will be monitored each week.
Homework and will be set on Thursdays which you will hand in the following Tuesday. This homework will either be a times tables challenge, some spelling homework in preparation for your spelling test the following week and a talk task.
If you require any further information, please contact Mrs Hogan.
