Welcome to Year 5

Spring Term 2

So we're over half way through the school year now, and Year 5 are still full steam ahead! What a new topic we have planned for this term Avatar!!

Please keep checking our twitter feed to keep up to date with wha has been going on each day in class! Thank you all for your continued support! 

TOPIC WORK

This term as said above will be based all around the film Avatar! The children are incredibly excited and we have already begun the classroom transformation into Pandora already. If you hvaen't already - it would be a good idea to maybe watch the fim at home to help inspire the children - We might even consider watching it in school with your permission of course. 

There is so much to explore in the topic and I'm sure the children will be coming home with lots to tell you! 

During the term., it would be great if the children continued to access the blog and promote writing! Remember this can be about anything!

Times table rockstars is also hot on our radar and I know the children are loving getting their times down! We already have a few Rock Heroes, who much are a lot quicker than Mr McCulloch! 

Reading

The children have been given a home/school reading diary that must be brought into school every day.  It has space to record reading times whether that is in school or at home.  We ask that you encourage your child to read at least 10 minutes every day and record this in the diary.  We ask that you as a parent sign this book at least three times every week.  We will sign it every time your child reads with an adult.

The children will be given a book to read at home and in school.  Some children may have books at home that enjoy reading - this is absolutely fine and should be encouraged.  

Homework

Homework every week will be spellings given out every Monday with times tables to accompany them. This will then be tested each Friday. In addition, children will be expected to read every night, botjh a book or online on Bug Club.
