Welcome to Year 5!

with... Mrs Mowat, Mrs Evans and Mrs Watson.

Our Autumn theme is... 'From Heroes to Legends'

We are excited to welcome you back into school and start our groovy Greek adventure. Stepping back into ancient times and delving into their wonderful time period, our autumn term will be jam packed with adventures alongside mythical creatures and heroic Greek gods.

We are also excited to dive into the spellbinding new text ' Impossible Creatures' by Katherine Rundell.

Books, books and more books...

PE

Our PE slot's will be on a Monday (Outdoor) Friday (Indoor)

Please ensure that your child has the correct kit in school each week. Long hair should always be tied back and earrings removed.

Homework

Your homework will be given out on a weekly basis. This will be issued online via Google Classroom or via LBQ links (Learning By Questions)  on a Monday and we ask that this is returned Friday. We will talk the children through how to access this work ahead of it being submitted so that they are familiar with the LBQ links and how to return work. Further information will also be shared during the Year 5 welcome meeting. 

This homework will include a piece of either English (Including comprehensions) or Maths and at times, it may also be a theme based project.

We also ask that you continue to read at home and complete your progress in your 'Reading Journals' (please bring these into school each day). Reading both aloud to a grown up and silently to yourself are both important skills to continue practising throughout this year.

Spellings

To support your child's writing process at home, a key area to focus on is spelling. In Year 5, we set weekly lists on Spelling Shed. These spellings are shared in a taught session on Fridays. Your child will be issued with their Spelling Shed account details during the first couple of weeks in school.
