Year 5
Welcome to Year 5 - Class Page - Spring Term 2
Welcome back! We are very excited for the continuation of the year and are looking forward to working with you to achieve the best that we can.
This half-term our topics are:
History - The Stuarts
Science - Space
The book we will be reading is 'Harriet Versus the Galaxy'. We will occasionally send home projects based on these areas of learning - please look out for them!
Homework will be set on Google Classroom. It will be posted on Monday with the expectation that it is returned by the following Sunday.
The children also have 'Reading Eggs' and 'Mathletics' logons. Children should be spending around 30 minutes a day on each of these programmes.
Reading records should be filled in daily (Monday - Friday) by children, there is no expectation for parents to sign these. School uniform (red school jumper, grey trousers / skirts; red checked Summer dress or grey shorts and red / white t-shirts in the Summer) should be worn every day, including BLACK shoes or trainers. No tracksuit bottoms or leggings are allowed.
Our PE days are Monday (pm) and Thursday (am). The PE kit (black bottoms and a plain white t-shirt) should be brought in a bag ready to change into. Children should NOT be wearing their PE kits under their school uniforms. On Friday morning only, children can come to school in their PE kits, with their school uniforms in their bags.
We have trips to IntoUniversity planned for 11th & 26th March. Here we will be looking at astronomy (linked to our Science unit).
We have a 'soft start' form 8:45am Tuesday - Friday. Please encourage your child to attend this as it is a chance to address any misconceptions from the day before and ensures that we start our learning on time, promptly at 9am. If there are any questions regarding this or any aspect of your child's learning or welfare, please make an appointment to see us.
