Welcome to the Summer term Year 5.

Topic

Wow...it's unbelievable to think that the children have started in their last term in Year 5. Last term- once again- brought so many highlights. This one, I am sure, will be equally as exciting.

Below, you will find the curriculum map for this half term.

Elizabeth Sagan...

All book lovers will know that a great story can spark your imagination and transport you to another world. However, rather than keep each fictional story in the confines of their pages, Elizabeth Sagan arranges her huge collection into imaginative book art displays. The children in year 5 have been asked to take inspiration from Elizabeth Sagan and create their own photograph capturing an image produced by books.

Examples can be found below.

'Knockout'

'Super save'

'The Angel of Literature'

'Never Ending Story'

'Colourful Wings'

'Warrior'

'Relax'

As we became so engrossed in our 'Disaster Strikes' topic, some of the learning continued this term.

The children in Year 5 have spent a couple of weeks finding out about Volcanoes around the world as well as how they occur.

We had great fun during our 'Volcanoes' Geography day; we got very messy and loved every moment of it.

I hope the memories created will last a long time; I would certainly put down these two days as some of my best ever days spent at CBC!

See what you think...

And the results at the end of the day spent making?

Hopefully, these images show just what great fun we all had!

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:
