Welcome to Year 5

Our wonderful year 5 cohort is taught by Mr Morledge and Miss Paton, supported by Mr Hill and Mrs Garratt.

Our PE is Tuesday and Thursday when there is no swimming. When we are swimming PE is Thursday, with swimming on a Wednesday. Swimming starts on the 22nd of September.

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 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;
Some of our year five are on the leader board for Times Tables Rockstars and rightly so as their rapid recall is immense;
Our learning behaviours show our Academy values of: Respect, Confidence, Determination, Enthusiasm, Aspiration and Kindness.
We come to school in our 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 a study around Early Islam: Did early Islamic Civilisation invent it all first?

Here is a list of the Year 5 and 6 spelling words:

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.
