Year 5 2017 - 2018

Welcome back to our final term in Year Five,

I hope that you have all had a peaceful break and that you are well rested after our residential and are ready to work hard in your final term of Year Five. We have another jam-packed term ahead of us, focusing on locational and place knowledge. As our main focus in class, we will be concentrating on spellings, ensuring that we can confidently use dictionaries to support us with tricky words as well as recapping and ensuring we can spell the Year 5 and 6 wordlist.

Music:

Music will continue to be on a Wednesday afternoon this term. You need to ensure that you are taking your musical instrument home and bringing it back in to make sure you are ready for our school performance.

PE

PE will be taught by the fabulous Miss Preugschat and will be on a Wednesday and a Thursday afternoon. T. You need to have a labelled PE kit in school at all times, which can be taken home to be washed over the weekend or half termly.

Homework, Spellings and Reading

Learning Log homework and Maths will be given out on a Friday and returned on a Wednesday. Occasionally, we may give out a piece of homework that lasts for a longer period of time, such as a mini-project. Reading books need to be changed at least once a week and don’t forget to bring your reading journal and book in everyday, so that we can keep track of the books you are reading. You need to continue to learn your times tables at home as well as covering them in class. Finally, Spellings will be given out on a Thursday and will be tested on the following Thursday. Please also make sure you are using Times Tables Rock Stars each week and compete against your friends in the arena. 

Alongside me, you will continue to have Mr Eisenberg our Troop to Teacher leading some lessons, in his final term of training and Miss Evans our brilliant Teaching Assistant. During the afternoons, you will have the opportunity to work with Mr Manning, Mrs Robinson and Mrs Edwards for some of your sessions.
