Year 5

Welcome to Year 5!

 This year taught by Miss Dunne and Miss Crilly.

Our topic for Autumn Two is…

Food, Glorious Food!

This term we will be food from around the world, diving deep into the reasons behind Fairtrade and if it is better to buy supermarket or locally produced products?

In English- we will begin by looking at stories with a historical setting, focusing on The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe, Oliver Twist and Through the Looking Glass. Ask us about the authors and the story lines?

We believe that it is equally important to hear each other read, as well as having independent reading time. We are currently reading ‘The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe’ as our class novel. It is important that your children are reading at home!

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

Important Information

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.
