Year 5 2018 - 2019

Welcome back Year 5!

This is our first term back as Year 5 which is new to both you and me! I am looking forward to the teaching and learning journey ahead as there are many fun and interesting topics along the way!

PE/Swimming

PE will be taught each week on a Thursday afternoon by Miss Preugschat. Swimming lessons will also take place on a Thursday afternoon, also led by Miss Preugschat. You must ensure that your PE/swimming kit is clearly labelled and that it is in school throughout the week. Please ensure that your kit is taken home to wash regularly over the weekends and holidays.

Homework, Spellings and Reading

This year, there will be two pieces of homework a week. Our Maths and Learning Log homework will be given out on a Friday and will be due in on a Wednesday. Occasionally, I may give out a piece of homework that lasts for a longer period, such as a mini-project. Spelling lists will also be sent home on a Friday and are to be learnt for the following Thursday. It is crucial that you take the time to learn the spellings as it will impact on your English work. As always, reading is the foundation of all learning, so we recommend that you read at home as much as possible, log this in your reading record and aim to change your book regularly.
