Welcome to Year 5

Miss Brown, Miss Daffern and Miss Jump welcome you to Year 5.

Homework: English and maths will be set on alternate weeks on a weekly basis. Homework will be given out on a Friday and the children will have 7 days to complete the homework. Homework will be set to consolidate learning within lessons. Children are also encouraged to play TTRS online for 10 minutes per day. This is an online tool to support in the knowledge of times tables. This will be beneficial to the children in our upcoming maths topics of; multiplication & division and fractions. All children have been provided with a log in for this website.

Spellings: Spellings will be introduced on a Monday and tested on a Friday. All children have access to Spelling Shed, which is a valuable online spelling tool.

Autumn Term

                             

During the Autumn term we are so excited to be learning about Greece and the Greek Gods as part of our fantastic “Who let the God’s out” topic. ‘The Adventures of Odysseus’ and ‘Who let the Gods out’ will be the texts we are reading and studying, using them to write a range of genres including; a setting description and a letter. We will study Ancient Greece and the impact and influence they have had on modern day societies in our theme lessons. During the term in Science we will work scientifically and practically to investigate properties and changes in materials. We will investigate materials that make the best properties for a task. In Autumn 2 we will cover changes in materials including soluble and separating solutions. The children have lots of exciting lessons to look forward to during our fantastic topic.

Whole Class Reading: Year 5 will be reading a range of texts throughout the term including; ‘Way Home’ by Libby Hathorn and ‘Beetle Boy’ by M.G. Leonard and ‘The Boy at the Back of the Class by Onjali Q Rauf’. We will discuss the texts at length and through our guided reading sessions develop the children’s overall reading skills.
