Year 5 2018 - 2019
Miss Mathison
Welcome back to our final term in Year Five,
We hope that you have all had a peaceful break and that you are well rested and ready to work hard in your final term of Year Five. We have another jam-packed term ahead of us, focusing on our topic ‘The Journey’.
Over this term, we still need to focus on learning our times tables at home; you should be learning them in and out of order and looking at applying them to division. 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 3 and 4 and the 5 and 6 word list. We will also be pushing the use of our Year 5 writing skills to show off what we can do!
PE will be on a Thursday (swimming has now ended) so please make sure that you have the correct kit.
Learning Log homework and Maths will continue to be given out on a Friday and should be returned no later than Wednesday. Spellings will be glued in at the beginning of the term and should be continually practised. As always, reading is the cornerstone of all learning. We recommend reading a wide range of texts at home and at school. Also, although many of the children are reading longer ‘chapter books’, they should still be aiming to change their book as often as possible. I will continue to check reading records on Tuesdays and Fridays and I expect everybody to be reading at least twice a week.
