This year the Year 5 and the Year 6 class are together. 

In Year 5 we have high expectations of everybody; staff, pupils and parents. We believe that working as a team we will achieve the very best outcomes for all. We are passionate about teaching and aim to deliver a diverse and interesting curriculum through challenging, exciting and engaging lessons that make our children think and utilise our beautiful setting.

We have lots of exciting topics and educational visits planned for this year to broaden the children’s learning.

Reading in Year 5

Children will continue to move through the colour schemed books in school and/or free reading. The children will get a book to read at home from one of these colours, but they are also welcome to read books from home. Children are expected to read at least 4 times a week at home and that their reading record is signed by an adult. We use a tick sheet in class to record how often the children read at home. Children who have 4 signed reads in their record, by Friday, are rewarded with dojos points. 

Homework and Spelling in Year 5

In Year 5, homework will be given on Showbie, which is an online tool we use throughout school. Children will also use this in school for some lessons. Paper copies can be requested if needed.

Homework will be uploaded to Showbie on a Friday afternoon, to be returned the following Thursday. Homework will usually be Maths or English, but it could be linked to our topic in Science, History or Geography.

Spellings will be given on a Friday to learn for the following Friday, when we will have our test. All of the spellings will be uploaded to Spelling Shed, which provides games to help the children learn their spellings.

TimesTable Rockstars can also be accessed from home. This is a fantastic tool to help the children learn their Times Tables.
