Welcome to Year 5

Welcome to our Year 5 class page.

Our Class Christian Value is Justice.

P.E

In Year 5, we currently have P.E. on a Tuesday. The children can come into school wearing their PE kit this day.

Homework

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 by Friday as usual. There are different 'strengths' of challenge - I would like everyone to attempt at least one Hot Challenge in each half term. I try to include challenges that link to Maths, English and our Research Project.  

Spellings

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. You can earn Dojos for this. You can also earn Dojos by accessing Prodigy and Spelling-Frame with your personal log-in.

We teach daily, whole class spelling sessions using the Spelling Shed programme; these are based around a particular spelling pattern. The children will have a list of words linked to this pattern to practise at home; Spelling Frame supports this. We will have a weekly quiz on Fridays.

I am really looking forward to this term; we should have lots of fun!
