Year 5, Classes 5 & 6

Welcome to Year 5!

In Class 5 we have Miss Belson and in Class 6 we have Mrs Manns and Mrs Walkley. The teaching assistants for year 5 are: Miss Aston, Mrs Lusted and Mr Scrivin.  

 Our theme this term is Miners and Monarchs. 

This term Year 5 we will be continuing to learn about medieval monarchs. We will be researching about some of the monarchs during this time and learning about how they played a role in our local area, particularly royal hunting grounds and freemining!

During English we will be creating our version of the poem 'The Malfeasance' by Alan Bold. We will also be writing a narrative piece based on the short film ‘One Small Step’.

In music we will be listening to a range of musicians' work as well as developing our musical skills and knowledge by exploring composition and chords.

Homework - We expect children to read at least 3 times each week to an adult at home. There will be a reading task set for each week, which will be found and can be completed at the back of the reading journal. Each read should be recorded in the reading journal and signed by an adult. We expect reading books and journals to be brought in daily. We will be checking reading journals for 3 reads and the reading task on a Thursday.

Every time children read they will receive a raffle ticket and have the opportunity of winning an exciting new book.  Remember the more reads the better chance of  winning the prize!

Maths homework will be times tables practise and will be sent home each week. For extra Maths homework you will also have access to Maths Shed to practise at home as much as possible. 

We want super spellers! Please play at least 8 games on Spelling Shed each week. This will help to understand the Year 5 spelling patterns as well as practise spelling rules from previous years.

Logins can be found in the front of the reading journals.

Reminder

Our PE days are Tuesdays (outdoor) and Thursdays (indoor).
