Welcome to Year 5!

Welcome to Year 5 2024/25! We are so excited to get started with our new topics this term. In English we will be writing poems, and lovely descriptive narratives. We will be getting lost in the world of Beowulf and Podkin One Ear during our class reads, and starting our new and exciting science topics, Forces, and Earth and Space!

In History, the children will be learning about the invasion of Anglo-Saxon Britain by the Vikings, and will have lots of opportunity to act, draw, write and research all about this time period. 

Thank you so much for all your support from home.

PE - Class P.E is dancing on a Monday and Mr North will be teaching basketball and netball on Thursday each week (earrings must be out for P.E please).

Swimming is on a Monday morning.

Spellings - we are currently putting together 'Spelling Bookmarks' for each of your children, which will be coming home every day. These are personalised spellings for your children to have with them while they are writing, and at home for homework. They can choose some words from the spelling sheet they 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 also send home spelling sheets for you to check 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 big 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.
