Year 5
Welcome to Year 5 - Class Page - Summer Term 1
Welcome back! We are very excited for the Summer Term and all that it brings. We are continuing to work hard and aiming high so we can achieve the best that we can. This half-term our topics are: Europe and Russia in Geography and Animals, including humans in Science.
The book we will be reading is 'The Boy at the Back of the Class'. 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.
There are trips being planned - please look out for additional information sent home and also on the school website calendar.
Key Dates:
- Reading Cafe - Tuesday 5th May

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 information or any aspect of your child's learning or welfare, please make an appointment to see us.
