Welcome to Year 5!

 This term we will be focusing on the topic of Invaders!  We will be discovering when and why the Vikings and Anglo-Saxons came to Britain and what life was like at this time in history. In Science, we will be finding out more about forces, particularly about water resistance and mechanisms. You will then put your knowledge to the test to design a catapult! We will also be discovering more about our amazing Earth and Space. In addition, we will become weavers this term and create some dragon art too.  Homework will come home at the end of week one. As always, keep up your home reading and the book bingo challenges.  Super spellers work with begin later in the term and continue to use TT Rockstars to become Rock Legends at your times tables. It helps so much in school! 

Thank you so much for all your support from home.

PE - Class P.E is Gymnastics then Dance on a Wednesday and Mr North will be teaching on Thursday each week (earrings must be out for P.E please). Please ensure a full P.E. kit is in school on these days.

Swimming is on a Monday morning (beg. 15/9/25)

Spellings - we will be checking where you are up to with your spelling skills and then creating 'Spelling Bookmarks' each week for each of you, which will be coming home every week. These are personalised spellings for you to have with you while you are writing, and at home for homework. You can choose some words from the Super spellers sheet you will bring home, or the words from the book mark, to practise for homework. These are so helpful and we'd really appreciate if they came into school tucked in reading records each day. 

We will send home Super speller sheets when we move onto a new list. Parents please check the words that the children know, and if you tick them when your child spells one right, they can come back to have it ticked off their main list here! When they have completed the sheet they can have a new one. 

Homework - can be found stuck in homework books, and there will be a digital copy uploaded in our homework section below. Autumn term homework comes home at the end of week 1.
