Welcome to Year 5. It was lovely to see so many of you at our virtual 'Meet the Teacher' event recently. We have really enjoyed getting to know the children and can't wait to see what they can achieve over the next year. Below is some useful information about routines in Year 5.

Topic

This should be an exciting term- our theme is Disaster Strikes. We will put some of the work that your children have completed on here for you to celebrate. The curriculum map for Autumn 1, can also be downloaded following the link below.

Daily Routine

A reminder that we start at 8:45am and finish at 3.10pm. PE will be on a Monday, so you need to wear your PE kit all day and school uniform on every other day. Please don't bring anything to school other than a lunch box (if required), coat and water bottle.

Children should be reading at least 4 times a week. Every child has a reading book and a reading record - if children could write comments in about the book and parents then sign to say the children have read please.

There will be spelling homework sent home on a Wednesday to be returned by the following Wednesday.

Maths homework will be set on a Friday mostly on MyMaths. This needs to be completed by the following Friday.

Times Tables

Children should know all their times tables by the time they enter Year 5, therefore, please make an effort to practise these regularly at home as we will be applying them within the Year 5 curriculum.

Some useful websites to help with learning times tables are:
