Welcome to Year 5

Working Remotely in Year 5.

Work for all pupils is set on ClassDojo via your class page. This will be set by the year group teachers each day and will include English, maths and topic as well as times tables and spelling. There will also be a class story and other activities. We expect pupils to work for about four hours a day and the work set will reflect this.

What's life like in Year 5?

We use Class Dojo to communicate with families and carers, and are very proud to say that 100% of our parents are signed up to it!
We can change our reading books and library books as often as needed;
We're getting even better at reading and understanding texts because we read five times per week at home and we really enjoy our Themed Reading lessons in school;
Ask us ANY multiplication question - seriously! We love our maths lessons and get very competitive with learning and remembering our multiplication tables;
Our learning in school is supported at home through weekly spelling/grammar/punctuation/maths home learning tasks which; link to our work in class;
We come to school in our outdoor PE kits when it's PE day;
We stick to our school motto: Live, Laugh, Learn.

What are we learning?

This term, our topic is Journeys - To Boldly Go and is linked to Space and the planet we live on.

RSHE:

With a renewed and passionate understanding of the importance of teaching children about relationships, health (including mental health), and social skills, we teach RSHE twice a week, and it also interlaces within most of our other subjects, class novels and class assemblies. We want all of our children to be happy, confident, well-rounded individuals.
