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 Medieval Monarchs. 

This term Year 5 will be finding out 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. We will then look at castles and hunting grounds from this time in our locality. 

During English we will be taking inspiration from Zoo by Anthony Browne. We will create our own narrative after studying zoos and holding a debate about whether zoos have a place in today's society. 

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).
