Welcome to Year 5 

Here you will find lots of important information about what's going on in year 5.  We will also be showing some of our fantastic work as well as photos and school trips.

No pencil cases or personal belongings should be brought to school except for a lunch bag.

Children will be given a reading book, which will be kept in school.

We understand this is a worrying and strange time, please be assured that we will do everything in our power to ensure your child has the education they deserve.

Working hard, having fun and feeling safe is our priority.

Reading 

Reading is a focus this year.  We will be listening to the children read throughout the week. Our Guided reading sessions will take place every Friday morning.  Please encourage your children to use their Reading Eggspress accounts at home.  This is really important as we are unable to send reading books home at the moment. 

Physical Education

Our PE sessions are on a Tuesday afternoon.  When the weather is dry we will be using the outdoor facilities at the Phoenix Centre.  Children must wear their PE kit to school every Tuesday.

Homework

Homework activities will be set on a Friday via HWB.  Weekly spelling tests will be every Friday morning.

Autumn Term Topic

Our topic this term is Up, Up and Away!  We will be looking closely at Space and flight. We introduced this topic with a fabulous day packed full of exciting activities.  We made paper mache planets, marshmallow constellations and produced some great planet fact files.
