Year 5

Year 5

Welcome to Year 5

Hello from Mrs Rawle, Miss Hadley, Mrs Cooper and Miss Dyson.

PE days in Year 5 will be as follows...

5HR: Tuesday and Thursday

5C: Tuesday and Friday

Children will need their PE kits in school on these days and should come to school with earrings removed and hair tied back. If your child has had their ears pierced in the last 6 weeks, please fill in a form from the office. If your child has had their ears pierced for over 6 weeks but cannot independently remove them, please make sure that they wear plastic retainers to school on PE days. The children are not allowed to take part in PE if wearing plasters over their earrings.

In PE this term, Year 5 will be practising their skills in Gymnastics, Dance, Tag Rugby and Volleyball.

Homework and Home Learning

This year, your child will be doing online homework using 'SATs Companion'. Your child/children has received their login and has been shown how to use the website and access their homework.

Spelling tests take place every Friday. Weekly spellings will be supported by a given task; this may be a homework sheet or it may be a written task.

We encourage daily reading practice at home and also regular practise of basic maths skills, including times tables.

Below you can find some useful links to help you to support your child's learning at home:

A special request

Year 5 had an exciting announcement from Mr Freear. We were surprised after break time by Mr Freear, who explained that artefacts from WW2 had been found in the local area. An email to Mr Freear rumoured that there were some items in our school grounds! Year 5 were set the task to answer clues, in hopes of recovering any artefacts. The children were full of excitement - we had a lot of fun! We will leave it to the children to tell you what they discovered!
