Welcome to Year 5

Welcome to our Year 5 class page.

Our Class Christian Value is Justice.

Hello Year 5! Welcome back - I hope you have all had a fantastic summer and are ready for a fun-filled year.

In Year 5, we currently have P.E. on Mondays and Thursdays. The children will require P.E. kits on both of these days.

We do homework slightly differently. At the start of each half term, the children will bring home a 'Takeaway Menu' of homework. On this are several activities that I would like them to choose from each week. They then complete this challenge and bring it in (with their takeaway sheet) by Wednesday as usual. There are different 'strengths' of challenge - I would like everyone to attempt at least one Hot Challenge in eah half term. I try to include challenges that link to Maths, English and our Research Project. Homework dojos will be awarded! I would also like the children to continue to use the Prodigy Maths programme each week too.

Alongside your homework, I would like you to try to read for at least 10 minutes each night. Please make a note of your reading in your planner; you could even add a comment about what you have read and enjoyed too! Again, you can earn Dojos for this!

Over the Autumn term we will be very busy. Our Research Project will be very geographical. We will be comparing where we live with other places around the World, including The Alps and The Grand Canyon - if you have anything you would like to share about this, please bring it into school.

I am really looking forward to this term; we should have lots of fun and, is it too early to mention the Christmas activities?
