Welcome to Year 5 - Class Page - Autumn Term 2

We are very excited for the school year and are looking forward to working with you to achieve the best that we can. 

This half-term our topics are:

History - The Anglo Saxons

Science - Changing Materials

The book we will be reading is 'Beowulf'.  We will occasionally send home projects based on these areas of learning - please look out for them!

Our scripture for this half-term is:

Psalm 117:2

'God's faithfulness endures forever'

Homework will be set on Google Classroom.  It will be posted on Friday with the expectation that it is returned by the following Wednesday.

The children also have 'Reading Eggs' and 'Mathletics' logons.  Children should be spending around 20-30 minutes a day on each of these programmes.

Reading records should be filled in daily 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 Friday (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 some wonderful trips and events planned so please keep checking for dates and information that is sent home.  We will be attending the British Museum on Thursday 4th December 2025, please look out for a letter closer to this time.

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.
