Year 5

Welcome to Year 5!

 This year taught by Miss Dunne and Miss Crilly.

Our topic for Autumn One is…

A Kingdom United

This term we will be exploring myths and legends in Great Britain, whilst also focusing on physical and human Geography and Anglo-Saxons in the UK.

We believe that it is equally important to hear each other read, as well as having independent reading time. We have begun to read Michael Morpurgos’ Outlaw in English, however we will also be reading ‘Beowulf’ by Michael Morpurgo as our class novel.

 

Please do not hesitate to contact me in school or by Class Dojo if you need anymore information.

Important Information

This term, we will be having music lessons with the Baritones. Letters will be sent out regarding taking these home. If you wish for your child to practise at home, please complete the letter and return it to school.

Every Friday MyMaths homework is set. This is done from Friday to the following Thursday, where then new MyMaths homework will be ready for completion. This is set based on the topic we have been learning that week in school and reinforces the strategies that have been taught in class and then can be reinforced at home. All children have their MyMaths logins, however, if they have been misplaced please message me via ClassDojo.

Spellings are sent out every Friday, for the children to learn and practise over the following week. These spellings are linked into our spellings lessons of the week in school and then the children will be tested on their knowledge and understanding of each spelling on the following Friday.

Additional homework will be sent home on a regular basis. This could be either English, Maths, Topic (or all). These should be brought into school on the following Monday from the date they were handed out.
