Welcome to Year 5!

with... Mrs Mowat, Mrs Evans and Miss Wildig.

Our Spring theme is 'Inspiring Inventors'

PE

Our PE slots will be on a Tuesday (Outdoor 5ME & 5W), Wednesday (Indoor JUST 5ME) Thursday (Indoor JUST 5W)

Please ensure that your child has the correct kit in school each week. Long hair should always be tied back and earrings removed.

Homework

Homework will be given out on a weekly basis. This will be issued online via Google Classroom or via LBQ links (Learning Based Questions)  on a Tuesday and we ask that this is returned the following Tuesday. We will talk the children through how to access this work ahead of it being submitted so that they are familiar with the LBQ links and how to return work.

This homework will include a piece of either English or Maths and at times, it may also be a topic based project.

We also ask that you continue to read at home and complete your progress in your reading journals (please bring these into school each day). Reading both aloud to a grown up and silently to yourself are both important skills to continue practising throughout this year.

Spellings

We will focus on words taken from the Year 5/6 spelling list which you can find within the ‘Files to download’ section of this webpage. During our English and Grammar sessions in school we will practise these but they will also thread into our learning throughout the week.

Children will also have a weekly spelling test online at 'Spelling Frame' - they have individual logins for this and can play games based on their spelling words.
