Welcome to Year 5

Welcome to our Year 5 class page.

Our Class Christian Value is Justice.

In Year 5, we currently have P.E. on a Tuesday. The children will require P.E. kits on this day.

We do homework slightly differently. At the start of each half term, the children will bring home a 'Takeaway Menu' of homework. On this are several activities that I would like them to choose from each week. They then complete this challenge and bring it in by Friday as usual. There are different 'strengths' of challenge - I would like everyone to attempt at least one Hot Challenge in each half term. I try to include challenges that link to Maths, English and our Research Project.  

Alongside your homework, I would like you to try to read for at least 10 minutes each night. Please make a note of your reading in your planner; you could even add a comment about what you have read and enjoyed too. You can earn Dojos for this. You can also earn Dojos by accessing Prodigy and Spelling-Frame with your personal log-in.

We teach daily, whole class spelling sessions using the Spelling Shed programme; these are based around a particular spelling pattern. The children will have a list of words linked to this pattern to practise at home; Spelling Frame supports this. We will have a weekly quiz on Fridays.

Over the Autumn term we will be very busy. Our Research Project will be very geographical. We will be comparing where we live with other places around the World, including The Alps and The Grand Canyon - if you have anything you would like to share about this, please bring it into school. 

I am really looking forward to this term; we should have lots of fun.

Mr Smith
